If you get a chance to interview a person in their late 80s, ask if they would welcome a life extension of say, 20 years.
The reality is, current research mainly exists as "old age illness is expensive, can we prevent all those things going wrong by slowing down aging?" (Currently: yes, with multiple different approaches, but so far only in lab animals).
We all experience aging, we don't ignore it, we literally feel it in our bones. It's the fountain of youth that's sought, with Tithonus being the "careful what you wish for" example to show the difference, precisely because we all know his end is not what we're seeking.
