Letter: Out with the old

Published 10 February 2001

From Chris James

Feedback reports light-heartedly that people may soon live for 130 or even 150 years
(27 January).
Have the scientists who are engaged on anti-ageing
research given any thought to the social, economic and environmental
consequences if their work is successful? I find it far more frightening than
genetically modified food or even cloning.
