Wil Wheaton: "At least I've still got hair."

Screenshot of a Mastodon post - A picture of the bridge of the Enterprise-D from Star Trek The Next Generation’s first season. In it are Captain Picard, Doctor Crusher, and Wesley Crusher in the Captain’s chair.
The text reads:
“Wil Wheaton is now five years older than Patrick Stewart was in the pilot of Star Trek the next generation. Have your bones demineralized and fallen apart yet?”
Original post @ Mastodon
To be fair, there is someday going to be a generation where that doesn't happen (assuming humans don't obliterate themselves first). Eventually it's practically a certainty that we will develop the means to preserve humans indefinitely.
I wonder if we do ever create some form of immortality, if we discover that the human psyche has some kind of 'wall' where a person just doesn't want to live anymore. Not due to health or personal life issues, just that there is a time limit on sanity that we don't know about.
Many old people are too frail to enjoy the things they used to. I mean maybe one would still get bored of life if they had eternal youth, but I suspect it would take much longer, not considering mental illness and such.
