>>Would you take a pill wich makes you a prodigy but shortens your expected lifetime with 5 year?

>Absolutely. Perhaps it's the naivety of youth speaking, but I'd gladly trade 5 of the worst years of my life to improve the rest of them.

Yes. I agree. (I'm 42 - does that make a difference?)

Maybe I'd have to think about it if the deal was genius level prodigy but with severe life-long pain. (Either mental anguish, or physical severe arthritis or whatever.) (I'm reminded of Aronofsky's PI.)
