Yes/ One reason I’m seriously considering taking mine at the earliest possible date.

People say — what if you live to be 90?

Could happen I suppose but just doesn’t seem likely.

It largely depends on your genetics. But, a breakthrough in gene therapy in the next decade or so could make it possible for anyone to live much longer, if they haven't abused their body with toxins like alcohol and nicotine.

My grandfather, my father, and uncle lived into their early 90's. I expect to match or exceed that.

Among researchers of age-related diseases, there's a consensus: the first person to live to age 150 has already been born. The only question is how old they are at this moment.
