LONGEVITY SCIENCE: THE FIRST SEXUAL REVOLUTION

You thought it was in the sixties, when Ozzie, Harriet and Beaver turned into Elvis, Mick and The Beatles. Wrong. The first sexual revolution was over fifty years ago when our parents (hard to believe, I know) grabbed each other, tumbled into the first available set of sheets, and didn't come up for air for two decades. That celebration of life produced a generation called baby boomers. That's us. From fifty-plus to thirty something we are millions strong and growing.

We're growing all right. We're growing older. We're growing fatter. We're growing sicker. That's the bad news.

We're also smarter, richer and more powerful than any generation before us and possibly any generation that will follow. (Have you checked out Generation X lately?) We change things. We make things happen. And the next thing on our to-do list is to play Beat the Clock and win.

We don't want to be kids again. We don't want to be teens again. And we don't want to be twenty again. We just want to look and feel as though we were. We want to buy back the extra years as though we hadn't already spent them. We don't want to live forever—we just want to live longer. And we can.
