@sameer137 Again, as I said, the fact that industrialized societies have all but eliminated early mortality is something to celebrate. Nothing you have said indicates otherwise.
In addition, while maximum life expectancy has not changed appreciably, this is not something written into stone. Regenerative medicine offers the potential of eventually increasing this maximum, whether a generation from now, a century hence, or more in the future. Whenever it happens, it'll be something to celebrate.

@Borhyaenid : Humans have been living for 90+ years since thousands of years, in the absence of war, famine or diseases. Europeans haven't magically "increased" the number of years a person can live, they have simply managed to eliminate the causes that killed people at an early age. It's no miracle. People still age at the same rate and die when their bodies don't function anymore.

What this doesn't mention is whether people are adopting or not. My girlfriend and I, 19 and 20 respectively, have "adopted" probably ten kids from the nearby orphanage here in England. Legally, they aren't ours, but they come every weekend, ages from 5 to 16, and we take care of them as if they were our own. And our neighbours help out as well. It saddens me to see these kids without families. They are some of the best kids in the world and no one seems to want them. And we can't adopt.

@ClarksonsinUSA I don't care what you do, I won't say you're wrong, but couldn't you have adopted instead of IVF? It would take kids out of the foster system and you'd have your large family. Or even had two then adopt. It just seems to me that this would have been a chance to have kids who don't have families to have a family. Not attacking, not judging, just trying to see why you didn't choose to adopt.

@paske2001 Good riddance, right? What an enlightened, totally non-racist non-bigoted sentiment you're expressing.

Probably this explains why Italy needs immigrants as work force.
