Abstract:
Every minute that you spend reading this article, the average life expectancy in Britain will rise by 12 seconds. That was the arresting claim made at the start of a four- page feature by Alok Jha in The Guardian on 'the future of old age'. So by this time tomorrow, life expectancy will have risen by nearly five hours. We're all living longer, and for that we have galloping advances in medicine and biology to thank. One hundred years ago anyone who made it to 60 would be near death's door, writes Jha, but now 60 'is barely old enough for retirement'.
