In an ageing society, it makes sense to support older adults to develop new skills, prolonging their working lives.
The aging of the U.S. population is a theme that we believe strongly in and the health care sector is really right in the bulls eye of this particular theme.
The human overpopulation issue is the topic I see as the most vital to solve if our children and grandchildren are to have a good quality of life.
Our concepts of aging really should be blurring because there are plenty of people who make it to older ages who aren't really any different in many ways than people who are decades younger.
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
