They all lived a good ole' age of 90 an up. I remembered our neighbor, she was about 91 years old at the time. my dad use to send me over to her home to bring her some of our eggs straight from the hen's house. She always cleaning and cooking everytime when I comes over. When I get back, my dad asked, what was she doing over there; and I replied back to him, that she's just cooking and cleaning her house over there. I used to delivered eggs all down the road to all of the old folks at the time, and none of them even including my relatives has never had any problems and were not dependent on family members for help. I remembered a time that people will go on a vacation to visit their grandparents, but now most grandparents are in hospitals and or staying with relatives and which it is common. Now in these days, it is forbidden to let some over the age of 60 to stay by themselves.

You obviously didn't get what I said. I said that the people who would have died without modern medicine, DID DIE 50 or more years ago. And the ones that survived were much stronger generally. So perhaps medicine is leading to the further devolution of the human species. But I for one am glad that it saved me so many times. My father's sisters are all still alive and kicking. One is 92, and volunteers to help seniors in her community. She is legally blind, because of macular degeneration, but she has never let it stop her. She regularly flies across the US and Canada to visit and help take care of family.
The other sisters are all still very healthy, too. My mom's side, her oldest brother died of cancer a long time ago. He lived in New York State, and was a high level chemist for a pharmaceutical company. It is thought the chemicals he worked with gave him cancer. So there is truth that pharmaceuticals can be dangerous! Especially to the people working on developing them.
But the point is, the sisters who died young, who had weak respiratory systems are not alive to be in old age homes. So it looks like that genration is totally healthy, except for the fact that the "weak" people are not around to bring down the averages.
But with younger folks like me who have been sick since birth, it looks like medicine is making me sick, when in fact it is genetic weaknesses that I inherited. But since I am not dead, I will take modern medicine.
As for not being by myself, I am over 60, and no one has ever suggested such a thing to me. I also worked as a chaplain in long term care when I was healthier, and the age ranges were amazing. There were many cenatarians who had lively and active minds. Many of them came to the Bible studies I held. Others were young, with diseases like severe MS, or strokes, and work place accidents. So if they were there, it was because something was wrong! Early on-set Alzheimer's is another serious disease that keeps younger adults from living in an independent setting. My MIL has it although she is 85, and still remembers us. But there are younger people there with the same disease, and it is very sad to see. No drugs to treat that disease as yet, but it will be nice when there is!
Oh yes! You might like Afghanistan. There are lots and lots of very old people who are very healthy. That is because the infant mortality rate is so high. Do you know why so many kids die there? Because in order to conserve water, the men pee in the water storage troughs. So many diseases end up in the water with such bad sanitation. So many babies and young children die. But the ones who don't die are pretty much immune to everything. So the super healthy children survive and go on to live to a ripe old age.
That would be one way to have your fictious society where everyone was healthy. Just get rid of medicine, and let the youngest die off, and only the healthy survive.
Oh wait, that is Darwinism on the worst level! And the merit of a Christian society is how it takes care of its weakest members - both young and old, and the sick for that matter. I pray that we will continue to be Christian and both abortion and euthanasia will be stopped.
