From what I can see, humans are kept alive for far too long already. We have nursing homes full of people who don't know who they are or where they are, falling down and injuring themselves or unable to move around at all...being kept alive for what...so family members don't have to grieve? It's cruel.
Ive seen the body outlast the mind and the mind outlast the body..both are tragic.

exercise improves cognitive function and is likewise protective against cognitive deficits and dementia... nobody's doing it so they can live to 80 and be a borderline vegetable, they're doing it so they can feel better at 60 than they would otherwise.
bodily decline and actual lifespan are two very different issues. increased lifespan with decreased bodily decline is good.
