Extended lifespans sound great if you assume you'll won't suffer some significant financial or career setback that leaves you spending 100 years eking out an existence in a slum.
- lkrubner 16y agoI agree. The risk of setbacks is great. In some sense, extended lifespans makes the gap between the rich and poor seem more unfair. Right now, in the USA, the poor live to be 78 and the rich live to be 84. In the future those numbers might be 78 and 184.
