It's almost as if modern technology and capitalism extends lifespans, increases societal health and lifts more people out of poverty than any other system yet conceived of by humans.
Predators helped a bit, the weak and sick died off leaving only the strong to survive, as it should be. Now life-hindering recessive genes that would have been bred out are thriving, we live longer great, but we're overpopulated. And what's the point of living longer when you spend your 'golden years' waiting for your family to visit you on the holidays or just siting around afraid of falling? Working in the medical feild and being the one who actually gets her hands dirty and cares for the geriatric really brings up the question; is living longer really worth all this suffering?
