So do you volunteer to stop taking vaccines, treating bacterial infections with antibiotics, reject medical intervention in the case of acute injury, etc? I rather doubt it, even though we take all these radical inventions in the prevention of death for granted.

No, you see, our current medical treatments and the resulting longevity are exactly optimal given human social psychology. Anything less is backward and primitive, and anything more is scary and weird.
