shouldn’t we have extended the life expectancy to at least 90-100 years with all the advancements we have in medicine now?

Just because you maybe could live longer, doesn’t mean everyone would want to anyway. So if your will isn’t there, no amount of advancement in technology will change that.
I have older people in my life, getting to 80, but it feels like hard work. I would hope in my lifetime we could plan and just have a comfortable checkout time, like a nice hotel. You’ve arrived, had a good time, and now you’re ready to leave.
