I can see how on the outside that might be a concern. How many awful years would you be willing to trade for good years? 2:1? 5:1? 10:1?

Consider

Lifetime Remaining x Quality of Life

If QoL is negative but can be switched to positive at some cost of LR it's not a hard deal to make. Especially in a world with car accidents and deadly diseases.

And that's not even accounting for the beneficial effects on friends/family/society.
