    What difference will that make? Also, what happens if/when life extension/age reversal becomes an everyday thing? Government regulations often move at a glacial pace, why fix something in place now that will be hard to remove when it’s completely irrelevant. We are even still saddled with the stupid EC and the idea that states all get 2 senators, no matter their population size. How long would it take to remove a rule like this that quickly becomes obviously ridiculous in the near future?

      Young politicians will always have an incentive to consider raising the age limit. This isn’t a system that leads to irreversible change when and if the time arises where the limit is no longer appropriate.
