I don’t want to live longer with dementia

I want the entire system to have longer maintenance and repair: skin smooth, head of hair, muscles not atrophied, bones not brittle, oxygenated blood circulating and keeping a brain well functioning without its own independent deterioration, risk of cancer mitigated, but also easily repairable if its occurring

I look at the London borough checklist of what people died from in the 1600s, and it makes me optimistic that the things people currently die of will be solved

I just don't want to be felled by those things. Its nice that solving for them includes a high probability of centenarian lifespans, I’m fine crossing that bridge when we get there.
