Harri;
What is life extension without health? hell! Is it better to live
longer, no matter how much the pain, suffering, and dullness of mind
caused by medication,?
I think we each have to ask ourselves what we want, asnd then maybe try
to go that way. I prefer the 'high' of running the joy of physical
health, in return I'll give up some years.
