A majority of US adults (56 percent) said they would not ‘choose to undergo medical treatments to slow the aging process and live to be 120 or more,’ said the Pew report. The median, or midpoint, for ideal lifespan was 90, or about 11 years longer than the current US average. Asked whether current medical treatments are worth the costs, 54 percent agreed and 41 percent disagreed on grounds that modern medical advances ‘often create as many problems as they solve.'”
