How long will you live?
I’m prompted to pose this fascinating question by two interesting media items:
1) The news that a woman in Georgia claims to be 130 which, if true, would make her the world’s oldest person.
2) A feature in the “Daily Mail” which reviews various advances in medical science that could allow children born today to live to up to aged 150.
Of course, living is not just about longevity but about quality. Already I feel that, in some ways, I am part of a blessed generation of post-war baby boomers and I’ve written about “Why It’s Fun To Be In One’s Sixties In Britain”.
