"Could it be that the concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands means that the rich need less young to pass the wealth on to? maggie coleman [EMAIL PROTECTED]" About concentration of wealth... There was an interestng TV doccumentary I saw in Canada a few years back about Ageing and immortality. It contained an interview with a business man who believed that a drug to prevent ageing would be discovered in his life time. The interviewer asked him about the consequences on the population if people lived, say, for 200-500 years. He didn't see any problems, we just regulate the fertility of women! he propesed a drug be prescribed during childhood to contain fertility, then on maturity - each woman could be allowed to have a child providing they passed various tests of "social responsibility". ! It was all said in earnest, this guy thought he was simply solving a social probelem. The doccumentary had may other insights into the effects of the intergenrational wealth concentration as a consequence of reduced ageing. I wonder I others have seen it or know of some resourecs on this topic, I'd be interested. Peter Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
