How old would you want to live be?

A new survey found that if they had a choice, on average, Americans would want to live to be 91 years old. In total, 23 percent said they’d want their lifespan to last until their 80s, 24 percent said their 90s and 23 percent would want to live until they were between 100 and 119. Just seven percent would prefer to live for 120 years or more; those modern Methuselah and Noldor of the now are the genuine exception to the rule.
