Do you think about getting old?

[xoggoth]

I think we need to start a Logans Run ePetition that anyone over the age of 40 should be incinerated for people born after 1970

If we are looking to SciFi for solutions, Soylent Green had one too.

PS I can't believe zeitghost hasn't posted that already.


Although I think younger people would taste better.

For Martin Amis yes. Would it be legal to help him into one and switch it on.

Getting old sucks. I used to have four supple limbs and one stiff one, now the opposite applies.

When I first me the wife, she had hair down to her waist and pointy tits, now the opposite applies

For the last 50 or so years life expectancy has been increasing at a rate of six hours a day.

Only needs to increase by another 18 hours a day and we'll be immortal.

Well I make good financial provision for it and keep myself healthy so I can retire early, as a period of life I am quite looking forward to it.

But would you agree with

The novelist Martin Amis argued last year that the answer might be "euthanasia booths on every street corner".

Where I choose to live in my later years concerns me a lot more though.

It's time to think the unthinkable, to pay for pensions I estimate taxes will probably have to go up beyond 100%.

And on that day the tittle 'GP' shall actually mean Get Paid.

[scooterscot]

No.

Entropy, there's no escaping it so accept it.

Accepting makes me celebrate the fact I've survived another trip round the sun.

When I read stuff like this, I think the pension issue in Europe is nowhere near fixed.

A study in the Lancet last year suggested that half of babies born after 2000 will reach 100.
