Ready?\n\nThe 200-year old man who is the protagonist of this podcast finds himself in the same position that I described at the beginning. He has had enough of life and only wants to die. He refuses a deal which would make him immortal.\n\nThe podcast’s message is that aging, even if it is clear that you have nothing left to live for, is still better than suicide. The main argument of the podcast is that you can at least let go of the life on your own terms when it’s time, and say goodbye to the world.\n\nThe message of the 200-year-old: Aging can be a better option than suicide for people who are tired of life

From the Frying Pan to The Fire: Aging and Tiredness

Why aging won’t help you if your tired of living…

Imagine that you are completely and irreparably sick of living. You want to die. How willing are you to endure around 20 more years of a life you cannot stand, especially in a declining state of health? If you’re tired of living right now, and are certain that your decision will not be changed, it would make more sense to end your life immediately than wait two more miserable decades. There is a narrative that suggests that people who have decided to end their lives can accept the inevitable death that comes with old age.

Warning: Spoilers

In a moment, I will be revealing the ending of a recent podcast titled \”The 200-year-old\”–an interesting and, all-in-all, rejuvenation-friendly series. If you haven’t heard it, it only has four episodes. You can stop reading now if you want to avoid spoilers. You can finish reading the article after you listen to the podcast.
