Suddenly Senior for January 29, 2012
WANNA LIVE FOREVER?
Science seems determined to have us live longer, whether we want to or not. In this classic Kaiser column, Frank questions whether all the medical advances that keep us around longer make sense. We can replace worn out parts, take miracle drugs that keep us sexually active long after our parents gave up ... but even if we live to be 120 years old, chances are that arthritis, muscle loss, osteoporosis and dementia - to name a few of our hoarier complaints - will still be with us.
