Assalamualaikum, Kaba apo pulo iko, mari kito baco. Wassalam, syb. Retirement age could be 75 in just two decades By Nic Fleming, Science Correspondent, in St Louis, Missouri (Filed: 20/02/2006) People will work until they are 75 within two decades and will be retiring at 85 by the middle of this century thanks to the greater use of anti-ageing therapies, scientists have predicted. Most people alive today in industrialised societies will live to close to 100 as the use of "wonder drugs" that combat common killers is extended and gene manipulation shown to extend life spans in animals becomes safe in humans. But researchers warned that the changes could cause a host of social and economic changes such as the cost of supporting the growing elderly population, later child-bearing, fewer marriages and a consequent rise in "serial monogamy". Speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in St Louis, Missouri, Prof Shripad Tuljapurkar, a biologist at Stanford University, said: "We have doubled human lifespan in the last century. "Some people believe we are on the brink of being able to extend human lifespan significantly because we've got most of the technologies we need to do it. "Even without anti-ageing strategies, retirement ages will reach 75 in a couple of decades for sure and by 2050 I expect them to reach 85." Life expectancy for boys born in 2004 was 77 and 81 for girls. A century ago it was 45 and 49 respectively. Prof Tuljapurkar said that while life expectancy had gone up by approximately a year every five years since 1950 in most industrialised countries, he and many other experts expected this rate to speed up imminently. He predicted that between 2010 and 2030 the most common age of death would increase by 20 years as anti-aging therapies came into widespread use. Among these would be medications that combated common killers, such as heart attacks and strokes, new cancer therapies and gene manipulation treatments. But he warned: "We have to make people aware that there are costs associated with extending lifespans so that societies can work out ways to pay for them." Eileen Crimmins, professor of gerontology at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, said: "If lots of people are going to live to 100, then some could end up having three 25-year marriages." -------------------------------------------------------------- Website: http://www.rantaunet.org ========================================================= Berhenti, berhenti sementara dan konfigurasi keanggotaan anda, silahkan ke: http://rantaunet.org/palanta-setting -------------------------------------------------------------- UNTUK DIPERHATIKAN: - Hapus footer dan bagian yang tidak perlu, jika melakukan Reply - Besar posting maksimum 100 KB - Mengirim attachment ditolak oleh sistem ========================================================= -------------------------------------------------------------- Website: http://www.rantaunet.org ========================================================= Berhenti, berhenti sementara dan konfigurasi keanggotaan anda, silahkan ke: http://rantaunet.org/palanta-setting -------------------------------------------------------------- UNTUK DIPERHATIKAN: - Hapus footer dan bagian yang tidak perlu, jika melakukan Reply - Besar posting maksimum 100 KB - Mengirim attachment ditolak oleh sistem =========================================================
