Do you ever feel like 70 years is too long for a normal human lifespan?

[quote:AwakeDreamer:MV8zNjk2ODQ4XzY2MDg3NjI3X0JBMUNGRERG] 70 isn't nearly enough! I'm sorry you're feeling down, OP. I have at times, too. But since May have been on a mostly vegan, wheatless, sugarless diet, and I look and feel much better. I'm 68, and at a recent gathering people told me I look 50 to 55. I still have responsibilities, but am retired. I look forward to being able to plein-air paint more. Have just started, and it is wonderful! There's something about being out in nature in the morning and painting. Good for the soul. So I hope you can do what's right for you, but I certainly don't want to check out early. There's still too much to do! [/quote]

I'm only in my 40s, but already, I don't see much point or much to look forward to in hanging around another 20 or 30 years, growing older and watching myself, my capabilities, and my life opportunities decay with each passing year.
I think it would be more merciful and reasonable if the average human took a dirt nap at age 50 or so. Just because our modern way of life has enabled us to live to 70 and far beyond..is it necessarily a good and desirable thing?
I hope euthanasia is legal and readily available in the future. It should be a basic human right in an era with 7.5 billion mostly unnecessary people, especially with so much widespread misery, and the ever-continuing depletion of resources.
