Come to Texas, Sava. Come on. I get so few thrills. Come on.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

He also hates Texans and Australians, he does diversify." ~ Braindead

actually, I was in Texas once...
on a train going to Arizona, we crossed through somewhere in the north... I felt a disturbance in the force.
It smelled like ****.
When we eventually nuke Texas, I'll come down to piss on what's left of you.
To us, it is the BEAST.

Actually, I think it's quite a few less calories than the pre-Big Mac era...I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

When people say "All we need is more old people." They should clarify whether they only mean biologically aged people or just people who have lived for a relatively long period of time (but still biologically 'young'), or both since discoveries like this are exactly the sort of thing that will make that distinction meaningful.
I suspect we are done increasing life expectancy in isolation of changes to the aging process. Future developments, this one likely included will increase lifespan not by extending the period of infirmity and debilitation that we think of as what it means to be 'old' but rather by extending the 'youth-span' that precedes it.
So with that in mind why do people necessarily think that having "more old people" would be any sort of bad thing?

It is exciting to see that biological research is progressing so rapidly. I really hope to live to 2050 (see no reason why I shouldn;t, baring random accidents).If you don't like reality, change it! me

Under IE
Internet Options -> Advanced
look under the multimedia section and disable everything (or just images, but if you are dial up you want to disable everything).“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
