That quote I just heard from Aubrey de Grey is a game changer, I think. It reveals an unexamined bigotry we have. We think it is okay that they die, because they are old. That's actually incredibly bigoted.

You can't really say it's bigoted since everyone is going to have to get old at some point. That's why it concerns all of us though.
