soooooo social security is going to last for 90 years of a person life now? Man retirement is gonna be rough

 

[Smurf Eater]

They actually have been talking about moving Social Security's collection age to 85.

 

[excalibur]

would still be 65 years of social security if they lived to 150 like they seem to think is possible. Was designed to take care of people for 10-20 years.... Its not gonna be there for me any way just pointed that out for fun.

Dont see people hitting 110 on average with that new drug any way, cancer will take over and hearts will still give out.

 

[Smurf Eater]

Well with a Cancer and HIV cure on the horizon, and the first artificial heart implanted the other day (as in heart grown in a lab) and Michio Kaku is saying in the future we'll probably be able to print a new eye, as in eyeball with your inkjet printer, I can't be that skeptical.

We will stop dying from old age and start dying from hunger and war again

 

[Smurf Eater]

Probably not, everyone will probably be too afraid to. What will likely happen is that everyone will agree not to reproduce. http://randommization.com/2011/11/0...ulation-were-to-live-in-one-big-city-graphic/

Selective breeding, I can think of a few people that should never breed.

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

Brains?

 

[Smurf Eater]

Selective breeding would be a huge mistake. Even in business models it is shown that randomly promoting people has the most positive effect. Either none of us breed, or breeding is chosen at random like a lottery.
