Why do you think that? So you would say that having a cancer is a good thing? You would only have some time of life left. Would that be a good thing? I mean, from your perspective it looks like the less time we have the better, because then we would "enjoy every second of it", as you say.
Who determines how much time we must have in our life to not have it be "boring"? Why does it have to be only 80 years? I'm sure that if since the beggining of human species we lived up to 500 years old, if suddenly a disease came that made us only live to 80 years old it would be considered as cancer is today, so the ideal time of life that we should have is all a matter of perspective. In my perspective, 80 years of life is a definitely low amount of time to enjoy all that life has to offer.
