People have already done this, and the answer people give is very often that, yes, they still don’t want live past 80, and you’ve almost certainly heard people say this many times.
It’s time to start entertaining the hypothesis that they’re expressing their true preferences.
I’ve asked quite a few people this question, even older people. I don’t have wider statistics on it (maybe you do and if so I’d be interested in seeing them) but the people I ask very rarely say they would not like to live longer if they could stay young and be with their friends and families. I have even been told yes by some very religious people in their seventies.
