The average life expectancy is constantly extending. For females in developed nations it is now in the 80s. The life expectancy would be in the 90s for both males & females if you eliminated lifestyle factors. More importantly, the increase of life expectancy has been very close to expectations for quite some while now. That is, here in reality, as opposed to your fantasy world.

Great. Better let more illegals in to do the work to take care of all the old boomers, because they selfishly didn't have enough kids to do the job themselves.

Umm.. Why would they need to be illegals? We can always raise the quota of legal immigrants as needed, and it's not as if there'd be any problem meeting it.

On another note, however, I'd imagine that within the next 200 years (and probably much sooner) our medical technology will advance to the point where old geezers can be rejuvenated. The real question is how much it'll cost and what kind of social disruptions will result depending on how widespread it ends up being.

If things go as Kurzweil expects, there won't be an "old" boomers, just young boomers that have been around a long time..
