    Age isn't an achievement, age is good fortune. If age were an achievement then Donald Trump has achieved more than Martin Luther King!

    My point was that age doesn't need to be apologised for or given an euphemism - it's something to be pleased about.

    Well that I do agree with.

    As life expectancy increases though, its natural that middle age shifts forward as well. There's no denying that 70 today is very different from 70 even half a century ago and in another half century it will probably still be working age!

    To be honest, I would rather die younger, if it meant I was healthy and happy up until the day I died.

    Even at 28, I struggle with the thought of getting dementia. I saw my grandmother suffer terribly from dementia and the last time I saw her was a few days before she passed away and she was not the same person that I had known through my life.
