A:
You are 90 years old. Your life has been profoundly happy, and full, you are healthy, and experiencing no unexpected discomfort for your age. However, in one year you will die. Your memories are exceedingly beautiful, and you are able to look back on them fondly with pride, and contentment.
B.
You are 40 years old. Your life has been profoundly happy, and full, you are healthy, and experiencing no unexpected discomfort for your age. However, in one year you will die. Your memories are great, but exactly the same as the 90 year old sans 50 years. You are very healthy, and have everything you’ve ever hoped for. The world is your oyster.

In both scenarios you do not know how long you have left to live. To be brief, you are putting a value on a long life well lived, or a short life with the energy of maturity and youth. The main question stands as which of these lives would you choose to place yourself in.
