About fifteen years ago or thereabouts, I was working with some
medical researchers using medical modeling computations. At lunch one
day, I was chatting with one of those Dr. Dr. Dr. types - MD, PhD,
J.D. - medical ethics was her speciality.

She told me flat out that the major problem facing the medical
profession was what to do when they finally figured out how to solve
the worst of all medical conditions. She felt that if anybody managed
to make it to 2015, they would live to be at least 200 YO.

You think overcrowding is bad now, wait until 200 year lifespan. Some
really old drivers that can not see over the wheel. Baaaaaaaaa.
