We could all go on all day and night quoting specific instances of how things have 'improved' thanks to modern medicine etc. But what sort of planet are these healthier young people going to have to live in? If they think the exhaustion of fossil and non-renewable energy sources, the warming of the planet, viral epidemics etc etc are just idiot media doom & gloom then they are going to find out the hard way.

I repeat - I was simply trying to console Peter C about feelings of little worth in old age. I very much regret starting a discussion in which all the old stuff about what a wonderful age we live in is trotted out. Oh yeah? If anyone thinks that newspapers are making it all up, they really risk having their head in the sand.
