Now people don't start work until they're in their 20's - everybody has to have a degree - and they live till they're 100. The numbers just don't add up anymore.
Added to which the cost of keeping them alive to 100 and looking after them is crippling. And very few have any quality of life at that age.

We need life clocks like in Logan's Run. Once you get to 80 you're off to carousel.
