Unfortunately this is true. Young folk do not "get it", most
of the time. When one finds health failing, pain a constant
companion, friends and loved ones gone (already dead), it
can be hard to keep up enthusiasm to go on.

Now living life longer in better condition, feeling good and
energetic and strong..... that's a winner, most folk would
like it, in my experience. But living longer when you're old
and poor and sick and getting worse? Why?

What do you mean by "too much control is a bad thing"? Would
you *force* people to continue to exist in their misery and
pain and suffering because ... what?
