they are comparing us to earthworms?
I just read a fairly interesting article on
living to the grand old age of 120. Apparently, scientists have "been able to predict the lifespan of the worm... by culturing them under identical environments and subjecting them to certain stress."
To me this is simply weird. I don't think people really want to live until they are 120. I mean, Kumiko wants to kill herself at 60 because she doesn't want to get old. Imagine living for another 60 years? Imagine what that is going to do to sociey?
Humans will HAVE to start to degenerate at the normal age, and i don't suppose the retiring age would be much different, so us young people will be stuck in a society of old people, and paying a rediculous amount of tax to fund their pensions.
This will be in a long time sure, and it will probably be our kids generation that get to live to this age, but is it really necessary?
Sure, maybe for people that won't live long it'll be great. Like those countries where the average lifespan is like 40 years, they will be able to double it maybe. But I don't think, in the long run, it will be a good move. Too many issues to think about.
