I don't know how content you think the average 100 year old is compared to a twenty year old like me, but I can assure you not very. In the future this might change for a hundred year old person, thus removing at least one of the reasons why someone might want to end it all. We might get to the point where a person is several centuries old and yet functionally just as healthy, energetic and handsome as a thirty year-old is right now.
You're putting a lot under the 'unhappy' umbrella there.
I'm on a nice picnic with the family. We have a nice long day together. But it looks like rain. We don't want to get caught out in the rain, so we head home. We are all in a good mood, because it was a great day.
You can say we are 'unhappy' at the prospect of being out in the rain, therefore we went home because we were unhappy. But that's such a broad stroke, I think it losing a lot of meaning. Especially, as we're all happy as we're heading home.
That's a laughable analogy, it doesn't concern itself with the topic at hand at all, so I have no idea what you hope to achieve with it. Let me know.
