Pretty much every elderly person I know or have known, has experienced some serious cognitive decline and even dementia starting in their 70s... it's like the last 10-20 years of our lives are spent helpless and semi-coherent, it's very sad. (I'm sure all the various toxins in our foods and environment, as well our sedentary lifestyles, are a large part of it)

I'd be fine trading longevity for mental clarity – I don't need to live to 120 or 150; I'm ok just living into my "expected" 80s or maybe 90s, if I can keep at least the mental lucidity, stamina and coordination of someone in their 50s or 60s.
