The Coming Death Shortage

tetw:

by Charles C. Mann

Medicare, Social Security, retirement, Alzheimer’s, snowbird economies, the population boom, the golfing boom, the cosmetic-surgery boom, the nostalgia boom, the recreational-vehicle boom, Viagra - increasing longevity is entangled in every one.

Long, but very well written and very interesting read. Some issues and patterns in society here I never even thought of in relation to growing lifespans. Highly recommended!
