I Have To Live Up To a Hundred Years?

That means I am halfway through it!

When I was little, I used to eavesdrop my mother saying her prayer every night. She used to sit in a yoga position and deliver her nightly mumbo-jumbo to God before finally retiring to sleep. Among the things she asked for was a longer life! She will be celebrating her 84th birthday next week! To me, that is quite a long life!!

I find it hard to imagine what and how would life be when I'll be in my mother's age. And I find it even harder if I have to live beyond. In general, men have shorter life expectancy compared to women. I am more concern about the quality of life I will lead in that age. Will I still be functional? Or will I be bed-riden? If living that time will be more of dealing with pain and misery, I'd hope that 'euthanasia' becomes available by then, so I can opt for a willful termination of my life. I would refuse to allow some life support systems put on me if only just to keep my body alive.
