It’s not that I think the organ will cease functioning and you will die, it’s that it may not be as effective across all organs (e.g. people take the medication and most organs are good except for kidneys because it’s not as effective on the kidney function).

I do not want to be on my deathbed scared at 90. But I think the person who is scared on their deathbed at 90 would also be scared at 120. It’s not like that extra 30 years will make that person OK with dying - if they aren’t by 90 they likely won’t be 30 years later.

I think accepting death as a part of life is important to living. No - I don’t want to die. Yes - I want a long life. Aging is natural and I think it’s important to experience the aging process. Maybe I’ll look back in 50 years and call myself dumb, but if I make it to 80 I’m happy.
