What about quality of life adjusted life years? I don’t want to live to 100 and be miserable for the last 30

But if you can get me 90 years where I feel like a spring chicken until 89, then that’s just fine.

I’d rather be alive engulfed in flames than dead.

This is probably untrue (but you do you!)

Beginning at some acute level of pain you actually want to detach from the failing body.
