Rick Rosner: So, I don’t know, I guess I am guessing that in the 2080’s you are going to have a lot of people who are very old by our standards still running around and living healthfully maybe with replacement and rejuvenated in all sorts of ways. But still kind of Frankenstein-ish from all of the different treatments they’ve had.
And, there’s certainly going to be a lot of prejudice among different groups of the old versus different groups of the young.
Because if you were born in the second half of the 20th century and you are still around in the second half 21stcentury you will probably accumulated a bunch financial resources that younger people may be jealous of – because in the past death has been one of the greatest ways to transfer wealth.
