One advantage I hardly ever hear mentioned is both a personal and a societal one- more time for personal growth and the development of one's wisdom and expertise. It seems like such a tragedy when a great artist like George Carlin or scientist like Francis Crick dies and takes with them all the accumulated wisdom of a lifetime of effort.
More time could help us all live more meaningful, creative lives and reestablish the traditional relationship of society towards its elders... (instead of seeing them as a burden to be hidden away in senior ghetto like "homes")
Why not emphasize these types of benefits in your proselytizing?
