     Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would

have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer,

there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in

birthrates, that has led to the population explosion.

     Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are

disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In

hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times

of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, where

as if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary (当代的)societies, people

feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people

today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which

require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security

checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than

young or middleaged people: unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must

often "go on welfare" if they have a serious illness.

     When older people become senile (衰老的)or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create

grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at

home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no

one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this_need, a great many nursing homes

and convalescent (疗养的)hospitals have been built. These are often profit making organizations, although

some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good,

most of them are simply "dumping (倒垃圾的)grounds" for the dying in which "care" is given by poorly

paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel.
