Another post I'm bringing from multimedia into townhall for greater visibility. Again, if moderators don't like this, just delete.

A deeply disturbing documentary about the lives of pensioners is due to be aired on BBC here in UK called "When I Get Older." From what I've read, it will show the harrowing reality of lonliness, bereavement, ill-health and poverty. Information about it can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk...-get-older.html

One of the people who made this programme has already stated that the misery of old age has terrified him enough to make him consider stockpiling suicide pills. To read this article, please visit the internetworking thread where I have posted all of the articles that Google threw up. The therad can be found here: http://www.longecity..._90#entry521234

Oh and please do comment on these articles yourself to show the world that there are people fighting against aging. :)

It is getting quite lonely on the Internet networking thread in general so the more the merrier and remember, the more voices that speak the more we'll be heard. Leave comments or just find articles like I do for those wishing to comment.
