I'm not sure of the relevance of 60 as some kind of watershed. When Spanish Flu in 1918-19 killed mainly people under the age of forty I don't think elderly politicians, administrators and doctors said "I'm all right, Jack." Testicular cancer affects mainly men aged between 15-49 but as a 68 year old I don't begrudge the NHS combating it. What are people suggesting: that we let it rip, kill off the elderly, the diabetics, BAMEs, whoever?
