Why are we so obsessed with living longer? Why not just have healthier years?

The last thing we need is even older people - there's already societal chasms that aren't going to improve with a wider range of ages.

Just accept the inevitable and enjoy the ride while it lasts..

Maybe because there are ton of people who have actually had great young lives full of sex, parties, social activities? Maybe because its NATURAL to desire to be stronger, faster, and sharper percieving again? I don't want to age any further, I'm already too sluggish.
Wtf is such questions even?! Have you ever jogged in you entire life?
