The World's Oldest Living Human Being

Mbah Gotho, from Java, has been named as the world's longest lived human at 145 years old

The world’s oldest man has been named as Indonesian Mbah Gotho, who is 145 years old, with documentation that says he was born in 1870. Mr Gotho said he began preparing for his death in 1992, even having a gravestone made, but 24 years later he is still alive.  
He has now outlived all 10 of his siblings, his four wives and his children. Though his age is impressive, Mr Gotho told a regional news network: “What I want is to die.” 
Your humble correspondent, MJ Hawkeye has often been asked, "How would you like to die and under what circumstances". I began contemplating these questions some thirty years ago and have yet to change my mind. 
It is my wish to die at 110 years old---in bed---with another man''s wife.
