From Trevor Prew, Sheffield, UK
While it may appear attractive to readers in the prime of their lives, the reality of living to 100 doesn’t appeal to me. Healthy living may be extending lifespan, but not quality of life. My 89-year-old mother is now trapped in a body that has no strength, and my father’s memory is failing, so he can’t remember what he has just read or seen. This mirrors the experience of other older people, who have told me they “just want to die” or can’t even remember who their family is any more.
