If we think overpopulation is a problem now (I know I do), can you imagine what it would be like if old age was no longer a factor in ending a person's life? This world would be full in a matter of years and we'd all go starving. Sure, there's more than enough food on this planet to sustain a larger population yet. But if people keep up with their wasteful practices (which I can only imagine they would) there'd be no food left for anyone.
