Indeed. People also need to realize that you live one day at a time, and if today you are healthy and having fun, you'll want to live until tomorrow. Asking people "do you want to live 500 years" makes people look at all those years at once rather than at how these years would actually be experienced.
If everybody died at 25 and you asked someone "do you want to live to be 100?" it would seem like a very long time and I'm sure people who thought it wasn't possible would rationalize and find excuses why it's not desirable anyway and it's better to die at 25 ("makes life more meaningful" or some other BS).
