World's Oldest Person Dies

I look at cnn.com and I learn that the world oldest person has died. She was 114 years old, a Japanese woman. That means she was born in 1893. Such marvels of longevity fascinate me very much because I never envisioned anyone living to that age. At most, I see myself living into 70s or 80s. Being really old is like a double-edged sword. The good comes from living and being able to experience more of the world. The bad comes from dealing with all the sickness and frailty that comes with old age. It's a tradeoff. With the medical technologies becoming more precocious, the newer generations are expected to live longer. But then again, the newer generations are more obese and are more unhealthy.
