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

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.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75868565 Well you're basically wrong about your preconceptions. In just about 15 yrs from now true life extension technology will come along, this is what is said by the top experts in the fields, and what they mean is by that time science will start being able to extend your lifespan, and you'd reach a kind of escape velocity to immortality as each passing year the technology improves and your extended lifespan increases. TO GET TO THE POINT! Life extension technology is inherently about rejuvenating every system in your body back to a healthier younger state, and about curing all the diseases related to ageing, this means you wont find yourself getting old and decrepit and low energy when in your 70s instead you'll look and feel like you're in your 20s or 30s... So now imagine yourself being 25 yrs old for hundreds of years... is that too much, will you get bored of all the sex and adventure and projects you could undertake? maybe...
