Christine, the low calorie diet buys maybe 20 years of extended life. It hasn't been proven yet. Gene alteration will probably give hundreds of additional years. The world population problem is caused by irresponsible people. I chose to have one child years ago. I bet you wouldn't be chastising me if I had 4 kids, you would be calling me a warm nurturing papa.

As a result of the tyranny of evolution, we are genetically programmed to reproduce and then die after we raised our offspring to do the same. If you choose to take that "natural" route I wouldn't want to interfere. Likewise I wouldn't want you to interfere with my choice if I choose to live longer.

The world could support many more people safely if we live a lifestyle that has less impact on the Earth. That means building very efficient housing that lasts for hundreds of years and using nuclear power for our main energy source instead of fossil fuels. We should be cutting back on our driving by at least 50%, and be using efficient electric cars.
