Honestly, for me it isn't so much death but old age that scares me. 20 years of prime is just not enough.

I think you can get a lot more than 20 years of prime particularly if you take good care of yourself. Even if you don’t take good care of yourself genetics can be kind.

I work in healthcare I see plenty of 50 year olds that there prime ended somewhere in there late 30’s early 40’s I also see plenty of 60/70 year olds who can be argued to still be in there prime. I know a 60 year old surgeon who still runs ultra marathons (50+ km).

Still I understand your sentiment death isn’t what scares me either but the feebleness and pain of old age.

It's not entirely unrealistic to think that the oldest living human is alive today.

Are you pulling a Jack Handy? That statement has been true since the beginning of humanity.
