You seem to be assuming that at 80, you will be helpless. But what Zoe was talking about was the possibility of slowing down the aging process. So at 80, perhaps you could be the equivalent of a 60 year old in terms of vitality.
Even if I was helpless at 80, I would still want to live. Much of the enjoyment I get from life comes from learning about everything there is to learn. Hopefully, in the future humans will be able to completely understand the universe. I can't think of much better than being alive to see such an achievement.
