That does sound hurtful! I read it as, if you’re lucky enough that cancer, etc. doesn’t get you, boredom will. When I have time I’ll go back and re-read with your comment in mind.
ETA: Went back and read it, and I can see your reading of it, but I still hear mine. I hear this sort of mixed attitude toward living a long time, like maybe it isn't actually better than the alternative, eventually. Or maybe I'm projecting my own attitude, which is, living to 123 sounds exhausting.
