I think this is a personal issue.

I prefer to think of making my life long... I'd prefer to know how to grow old (in age) while looking young. :roll: 8-)

if you do sport/exercise you can look young in age like Madonna does

To answer the question...absolutely. Not because it's a "right," whatever that means, but because there is no reason whatsoever for anyone to be able to regulate how someone else lives their life. And that includes how someone else dies. Most people would prefer to live than to choose to die early, but if someone chooses to die, there's no reason to stop them from doing so.

I would imagine that just living a healthy lifestyle in general makes people look younger. After all, ageing is a process of deterioration*, and health by definition is the absence of this process.

*if you didn't know, "deterioration," is basically a nice, fancy word for "getting worse." :p

Sometimes we die by accident. I think it's better not to think about being dead. It's better to talk about things that makes us alive and enjoy life.

Life is not a race, it's a gift. Enjoy it, don't rush through it.
