Raymond, the biotech revolution truly will be remarkable. And will present a whole new set of issues, challenges, and opportunities.

When people don't die of old age, cancer, diabetes, heart attack, or stroke,
-- Where will we house everyone?
-- How will we produce enough food to feed everyone?
-- How will we transport everyone?
-- Who will pay the social security and medicare when there's 1 person working for 3 retired people?
-- What will the quality of life be when people live to 150 years old but their brains and bodies slow down? Will they be content spending the last 30 years of a 150+ year life bedridden?

Are things really going to be better, or will they be worse? --just pondering.
