  • Scottish anatomist and anthropologist Sir Arthur Keith said that 45 to 50 was the age that humans were naturally meant to live to. "Civilization, acting as the world's hothouse, gradually extended this age to between 65 and 75", he explained. "Nowadays some even desire it to be prolonged over the century mark. I think it is one of the most foolish of things for man to want such a long life." Keith said it was "selfish" for older generations to "hang on too long" and block younger generations from getting their chance in life, and that it would be in the world's best interests to restrict human life to an age at which each human would produce at maximum ability.[53]
