First off, it's not that cynical. Plenty of people die before the age of 60. Male life expectancy is 76, so 35 years is 70% of expected remaining.
Also, the point I was originally making, is that for most people the quality of life between 25-60 is far higher than the quality of life from 60-95. Even if he does happen to live to 95 and it's "only half", most people are going to enjoy age 35 more than they are going to enjoy age 95.
