Future Life Expectancy: 1000+ years

[Burzum]

That's what you think. People would still go on pension at the lowest legally proposed age, just as today. It would take decades to raise the bar to a level that would ensure a stable economical equilibrium.

edit: just like it is today, magnified by an arbitrary factor - the multiple of the difference between today's and tomorrow's life expectancy.

In America we constantly raise the senior citizen age, but then again we are the best country and we don't believe in too many handouts.

[Dameon Angell]

2027 - People extend life expectancy to 1000+ years
2050 - Sars Mk II breaks out in China
2055 - China quarantined from the world due to rapid infection from overpopulation.
2065 - The Greater Eastern Asian area now quarantined due to the disease. Newly developed vaccine in short supply.
2075 - Disease, now immune to vaccine, consumes most of the eastern hemisphere up to Europe and Africa

So on and so forth.... We'll have the new black plague, most of us will die, and the world will reset. Sadly enough, this would solve most of our current problems, while creating a boatload of new ones.

When did you become the expert on credibility? Or spelling for that matter.

[Izor]
