This. You'll spend these 5 more years being old and incapable of doing anything anyway.
Lots of us would cut our lifespans in half to be taller.

I believe that effect on longevity would be even greater without heightism. It's honestly quite remarkable that short men tend to have an increased lifespan despite all the discrimination they face.
