What one feels on the matter is not conclusive by itself, but rather why one feels as one does.

What you seem to not understand is that I am not making any objective statement. We are talking about feelings. I have witnessed folks losing the will to live not because they're unhappy, but simply for having lived enough. My experiences are my own, and they contradict your absolute statements given above. I trust my experiences more than I trust some schlub online who doesn't have the sense to understand that not everyone sees life the way he does.

You'll forgive my apathy, but I simply don't care enough about you to try changing your mind. I simply report what I experience and you can use it, or not. It's no loss to me either way.

You have a nice evening, now.

Come on now. 

Obviously when someone speaks of being immortal, it's pretty much understood that one does not age. 

If you get old YOU ARE NOT IMMORTAL, the fact that one ages means that they are in the process of dying.

As far as I'm concerned you don't know anyone who is perpetually in the prime of life that wants to end it, period.
