Warren, are you possitive they werent' just talking about appearance, a la plastic surgery. Because that's the big thing they're always trying to perfect. I'm SURE in 40 years people will look like they're 20 when they're actually 40.
I truly believe that people are getting older and older faster and faster, dying much sooner than they would have before. This generation's age 12 is our parent's generation age 16. People are maturing a lot faster, and thus older a lot sooner. With the increase in pollution and all of that stuff I think people are going to die sooner and sooner.
Sure the average life expectancy of males just hit an all-time high of 76 years old, but I don't think the trend will continue.
And personally, I don't care when I die. All I know is that I WANT to die long before my memory goes and I'm no longer able to get around without help. I wouldn't mind dying at 83, that sounds like a good age.
