Four Score and Ten.

- Abstract
Biologists often assume that scientific advances within the next 30 years will provide an extra decade of healthy and vigorous life resulting from an intervention with the aging process, rather than with related diseases. The psychological, social, and economic implications of such a change are immense. Effects might well include major alterations in family structure, particularly in regard to the role of the elderly person, in work roles, in the meaning and structure of the educational systems, and in personality changes as a function of age. Whether the social and political systems can change rapidly enough to keep up with these alterations is a moot point.
