THERE IS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS:
1)BEING ALIVE AFTER 75
2)LIVING AFTER 75
1ST ONE IS JUST BEING ALIVE NOT MEANIN U DO MUCH THINGS....2ND IS THE GOOD ONE BECAUSE IT MEANS U R LIVING UR LIFE STILL DOIN' SOMETHIN RATHER THAN JUST BEING ALIVE!!!

Living that long you have experienced a lot of losts and that would be the only reason that I would not want to live that long. Chances are you have buried your children, most (if not all)of your friends. And even being around new friends you are alone..... My grandmother is 80 and she just stopped working last year, and now she's learning how to work her new laptop...so life goes on after 75.

As long as I was of good health, and able to get around then yes. If I was bedridden, in poor health, or stuck in the house all day, then no.
After 75 there is still a lot a person can do. My grandmother still works, my grandfather, who is well into his 80's does woodworking, photography, and gardening. As long as you keep your mind active, you can do something.

I only want to live that long if I can stay healthy, active, and mobile. I don't want to spend 40 years stuck in some retirement home. I want to enjoy life.

no, not really. However, if I'm in excellent health, cool. But normally, no. More than likely after 80, everything hurts and you become more and more dependent on others. It's harsh and sad, but true.

I don't know- I don't plan on living that long, and will make damn sure I don't. After 70 you just turn into some greedy doctor's meal ticket, anyway.

I wouldn't, not if everyone I loved had died during my life (I know that will eventually happen, but still). I'd rather live to a max of 91 and then conk/croak it...whatever...

I would want to if i was health and not if pain or in bed rest or jail. I would want to see how the world has change since i was young.

If were in good health yes. I would love to see my great great grand kids. I just hope the world would be in better shape than it is now.
