What would be a better scenario, though. Do we not die slowly even if we are older, which also requires more caretaking?
What's the difference between having it happen early and late?
I do agree with the Quality of life issue, though. If I'm a highly skilled worker (And thus have prospects to migrate) And some people in say, a country in Europe, live to see 150 years of age, while in my country on average people live to 70 I'm moving out as soon as humanly possible.
Realistically the gap doesn't grow that large, but I'm using hyperbole to make a point. I might be too dumb to articulate it though.
