Pejorative.

Let me expand a little. Modern medicine keeps many older people alive (in name only) when in the past they would have passed away. Does quality of life count or should a life be preserved by any means possible?

when you turn 16. two consenting 15-year-olds can have legal sex, but a 16-year-old having sex with a 15-year-old is committing a crime. too old.

the limit is obviously different in different countries, but usually the same idea applies.

well that's another question, but it has nothing to do with age. there are millions of little children with much worse quality of life than many 90+ people.

age of constant in peru is 13.. prostitution is legal. by law you can have a 13 year old prostitute. tell me i'm not the only one that sees something incredibly wrong with that.

"Logan's Run" movie had the right idea.

At age 30 you must report to a disintegration chamber.

No need for health care reform.

This could also be applied to premature babies. Many rely on modern medicine to grow enough to be able to leave the incubator and then often need medication for the rest of their lives.
Some of the lives don't seem to be of 'quality', but who can be the judge for either end of the age scale? 😕

oooh yes, take it to Debates, Spanky! 😛

That's a sweeping statement if ever I heard one. Some people say that life begins at 40 🙄

Is sex the be all and end all? Aren't there other things in life to be appreciated?

Modern science makes your statement false.
