Excerpt from T. U. writer David Brooks
"...after age 65, aging itself takes an inexorable toll. Even if you beat lung cancer or survive a heart attack, your body's deterioration will finish you off before too long. The average 80-year-old suffers from around five diseases. That's why even if we could totally cure cancer, it would add less than three years to our life expectancy."
So carpe diem, all you rosebuds.
