I recall watching a funny cartoon called Xiaolin Showdown with my sisters and in it was a dragon who had lived for thousands of years. In an episode he was faced with the prospect of an untimely death, he reflected on how much of a good long life he had. He paused, then screamed "I WANT TO LIVE!", I laughed so hard because it was true.
You're not accepting death perhaps, by asking for more, you're delaying the inevitable. You're still paralysed by fear. Should you be given, through natural or unnatural means, an extra several hundred years more to your existing lifespan and come to the end of that period you'll demand several hundred years more.
