The Question of Longevity: Living to 100

That’s a very difficult question to decide if I would like to live to be 100, because there are a lot of reasons in favor and against.

On the one hand, if I had good health and I were able to live without help, I would like to live a long time. I would also like to have money to travel and enjoy the time of my life. If I could walk and do things on my own, I wouldn’t mind having a long time.

However, if I had a lot of health problems and I weren't able to live on my own, I would prefer to die. In this case, I would need help, and my children wouldn't enjoy their life because they would have to look after me.

In conclusion, depending on my health and my possibilities to have a good lifestyle, I would decide if I liked to live to be 100 or not.
