Now we will be retired longer than our careers? How will anyone save enough to live 'til they're 150yo?
I hear that 90 is the new 40.
Social Security is in BIG trouble........
Ask Japan how well this is working out. They now have invented a robot to take care of the unwanted elderly. No, thanks. I'd be happy to leave for heaven after my hree-score-years-and-ten. Surely beats a robot's care in a nursing home.
This is not a "new era" for advanced age. Most from Adam to Noah lived well into their 900s.
Nobody ever lived to see 1,000. (Unless you could Enoch and Elijah, who never died.)
how many people in the OT in the bible are reported to have lived well into their hundreds, and people use that to discredit the bible?
now they're saying that living to those older ages is quite possible by limiting your diet.
Does this mean 60 years of p------ in their pants?
This is true, but not in the way that you think... WE ARE NOT LIVING ANY LONGER THAN WE DID IN 1900!! Look at the data; the average life expectancy has increased from around fifty to around seventy-six, for a new born. For someone who is sixty, the average life expectancy is about the same. This is due to two main factors: (1) Most important... Infant mortality has gone down (2) Mothers dying in childbirth has gone down... there is also a small increase in folks surviving through pandemics because of anti-biotics. Looking at different scientific analysis of the data, if a sixty year old today lives any longer than one did at the turn of the LAST century is by NO MORE than a few years. Google myths, longevity infant mortality for more info...
Rest assured that the proponents of euthanasia will do everything they can to convince more people that life in old age is not worth living, and that one will be such a drain on society if one lives this long.
1,000 years old and still nothing on TV.
You'd either have to save like a som a buck in your early years or else work till you are 130.
No thankx
My mom is 84 years old, just a few gray hairs, reads without glasses, very healthy, though getting bored with life. She still cleans her own house and cooks her own meals. She takes no prescription medication but is religious about her vitamin pills. My dad was the opposite of this and died at 68 years old after heart surgery.
