If taken ill, I bet you'll want doctors to make you better, however old you are - providing they could actually make you well.
living longer for the sake of living longer is something I pity rather than envy.
So do I, but that's not why I'd like to live longer. It's because life is glorious and more of it (currently) would be more glorious. If that ever ends, I'll agree with you. But I don't think there's a flat number for everyone. What if the number for me turns out to be 5000 years? I'd like a shot at it.
