What the point of living till you're 125 years old, if u're blind, toothless, have diseases like Alzheimer, can't even go to the bathroom alone, etc.
I'd rather live 75 years with good health and lucidity.

If you believe that then you'll believe anything. There is a lot of evidence that the age you can live to is related to (amongst many things) stress, polloution and toxins, excercise.
To dismiss out of hand because "we know best" shows a lack of acceptance and an unwillingness to accept anything outside of your experience.

That's what they'll have to do, otherwise the whole western society might break down. At least my country is at risk if we don't solve the problem.

On-topic, personally, I'd rather live so long as I was healthy. If my life ever had to depend on a machine, I'd ask to end it all there.

I remember reading of a Nepalese man who lived upto 140+ years and it was medically proven .
They carried a full article about him in an INdian magazine and he did not seem to have any debilitating illnesses.

That's just plain horrible. There's no way I want to live that long.

When it gets to the point when you're no longer mobile, can't SEE, can't maintain yourself on your own... then yeah, it's time to die.
I don't want anyone bathing me, cleaning me in the bathroom, feeding me all the time, since I can't do it myself. To me, that's not living, that's just 'staying alive', and for what? Just to set a record?
On the other hand, if I'm still mostly independent, then fine, I won't mind seeing 100 years old. Right now, though, I can't even imagine being that old. Can you? What would it feel like? Uuuugh.
My grandfather gave me some great advice:
"Don't ever get old".

The oldest person ever of whom it was proven she was so old, was 122. A French women. A japanese guy reached 120.
But if this man has really retired in 1938 I'm willing to believe he is at least 120! He certainly looks old enough to have that age.
I would like to get that age, but only if I was still mobile and such.
