Life Expectancy

One way to extend the average life expectancy past today's average
into what might be the average in the 54th century is already in the
rules: anagathics.  My personal view is that the rules were designed
this way to maintain game balance.  Since more skills are obtained the
longer one stays in a career, the aging rules exist to coerce player
characters out before they become MajorSkills-4 and EveryOtherSkill-2.
I have no problem with the rules as they now stand.
