Medical science can keep people healthy and strong into their early 80s. Past that time, no matter how healhy their lifetstyle, their body beings to wear out and weaken. We need to face up to that reality and learn how to deal with it better, so people's last years can be happier and more satisfying, without having unrealistic hopes for those later years.
I have seen my parents deal with this stage of life, and witnessed how the medical establishment is totally unprepared for the breakdown of the human body that occurs when people get in their 80s, and keeps trying to heal what is un-repairable, at the cost of a lot of money and agonizing pain for their patients.
