This generalizes into discussion for any treatment that promotes longevity.
The thing that comes to mind is that it overcomes or breaks various “policy levers” that rely on an expected course of life. Some examples: 99-year leases, defined benefit pension plans and life insurance policies.
I also wonder how many mainframe systems assume a maximum possible age of 2^7 years.
- jnsie 5y agoThe impact on copyright would also be interesting (I’m imagining an artist holding copyright for an extra 75 years). Not to mention reunion tours. :-)
