>I never want to be dead. Ever.

Sure, everybody says that at some point. But when you're too old, sick and aching, and with your friends/family gone, do you really believe you'll think exactly the same?

Firstly, in the hypothetical situation I'd like to see, who ages?

But even without that - HELL YES.

OK, check back in 50 years.

I think it's charming that you think old people want to die, it must comfort you to imagine that by that age you'll welcome death like an old friend.
