Question World's Oldest Person Dies at age 114

Story here.

It's kinda crazy to imagine all the huge changes the world experienced during her lifetime. It's mind-boggling really. Still, would you want to live for 114 years? I'm not sure I would.

If i could walk around like a 20 year old then yes. Other than that I wouldn't want to spend all those years in a nursing home.

I'd like to live twice or three times that long.

Death ain't like taking a nap! It's forever

No thanks. I would rather have all my faculties and die at 75-80 then live to 114 and not be able to do anything.

totally. I could live with some physical impairments (like difficulty walking and whatnot - as opposed to being completely immobile), but if I'm not able to enjoy reading, or remember who my loved ones were each time we saw each other, it just wouldn't be worth it. It's all about quality of life.
