It seems most of the people cited in the article are 50+. I’ve been griping about my deterioration since I was 40. I see it’s not going to get much better.
Not discussed here is the effects of decades of feces ingestion, and drug and alcohol abuse. Many people with these behavioral disorders do pay with a pretty severe toll on their bodies.
I am not a medical professional, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night with my wife, who is an ICU nurse. The complex of problems associated with similar patients that she sees is pretty dramatic, even in people in their 20’s and 30’s.
There used to be a program called “Scared Straight” where delinquents get to visit people incarcerated in jail. Perhaps there should be similar programs for youngsters to visit broken-down homosexuals in hospital ICUs to accompany their sexual diversity/tolerance training.
I would challenge you to read the paper in post #2 carefully. It was certainly an eye-opener for me.
