| QUOTE (FionaK @ 16/5/2011, 05:55) They then go on to say that this will place an increasing burden on medical and social services, and they talk in terms of "bankrupting" the society and other very alarming outcomes. The retirement age will rise, of course, as medical and technological advances provide health benefits beyond the norm of 65 years. Anti-smoking legislation itself has saved or extended countless lives. The question I have for those who think that old people aren't affordable (or productive) is whether young people are any more affordable or productive. This works for practically any segment of society. The sky-is-falling doomsayers have nothing empirical to back up their claims. |
