Its really easy to say that you won't care when you will die until you are on the verge of death. Its kind of like when someone rolls up to kill you. Probably less than 1% of people just don't resist. Its just not in our nature. Our survival instinct is too strong. When you are confronted with death, most people cherish every minute of life they have. |
Yes and no ... The question for most people is Length of life vs Quality of Life, and I think few people would sacrifice something that greatly improves the quality of your life (romantic relationships) in exchange for a longer life when they're perfectly happy with the length of life they will receive anyways. With a smaller sacrifice (like Red Meat) some people will be willing to make that sacrifice while others won't be, especially when the increase in life is not a sure thing and there are countless other factors at play.
