QUOTE : All of the things that were shown in early studies to be good for longevity—happy marriages, healthy bodies—are ours to have. We live long,<br />good lives. We die on our eightieth birthdays, surrounded by our families, before dementia sets in. Cancer, heart disease, and most debilitating<br />illnesses are almost entirely eradicated. This is as close to perfect as any society has ever managed to get.
