^ Your right.
To be honest I dont want to grow 90+ years old because I would be under regular medication and be hooked up to machines. I wouldnt want to live in a coma. If I die once I want to be dead, not revived.
Death isnt something you should be afraid of nore avoid. Its natural.

I`m surprised he didn`t touch on mental stimulation more. Surely the anti intellectual attitude you see in so many people is contributing to the risk... Most people I know barely think about anything in depth after they leave school. People always talk about physical health and exercise, I wonder how the neurological disease numbers would change if people exercised their brains more.

@Yurik: (=.=)

But your right Mr. Tajumera he should have spoken more about methods of mental stimulation. Such as language learning and/or picking up an instrument and learning music. But in his defence he did have a short about of time.
