I'll have to watch the movie. I will pick it up sometime soon and see it
because I am interested in the subject matter, and it's a fairly famous film. I
just think 30 is a little young as the idea is that you sacrifice yourself for
the good of society once you become a net deficit due to old age.

It's interesting to see that these ideas have been around for almost 90 years
and technology has only just caught up. I wonder if some of these outlandish
schemes are going to be put into practice in ther future.
