If you were to have a choice, at what age would you prefer to die?

If one thing that is certain in life is death. Mostly people want to die at ripe old age and even "Isavasya Upanishad' (a philosophical scripture (Vedanta) in Hinduism says "live to hundred years". But life is not all rosy for us. We have accidents, sickness, emotional breakdowns, loss of dear ones, failure, natural calamities and umpteen such reasons that can cause death to us, or that can even make us wish for early death. When we will die is beyond our knowledge, except perhaps when we try to commit suicide! Even such attempts fail for some people. If at all we have an option to die at an age of our preference, what is the age at which you would prefer to die? I am at 53 now and such a thinking (of choosing a right age to die) has never come to me so far. Now that I think about it, my personal choice is any age between 60 to 70. I would have completed my duties to my children by that time. I have no dreams to realize, no goals to reach, no more pleasures to enjoy, no desire to serve the society and no power to control and manipulate others. There is nothing more attractive for me to yearn for in this life. What about you?
