Technology Marches On: Anagathics

[F33D]

Let's assume that for all practical purposes you have eternal youth.

Instead of a pension, if you're injured, whether, physically or mentally, health insurance kicks in and everything is done to restore you to back to physical perfection, so that you can continue your life without handicaps.

Plus, after serving your country or corporation for a set period of time, one of the severance packages would be supporting you while you recuperate and retrain for another occupation.

Sounds good for those who want to pay for it. Companies would offer whatever it takes to attract the people they need/want.

Traveller character generation tends to reflect our current society, so if our medical science does achieve a breakthrough in longevity, it will be mirrored there.

This is true. We wouldn't assume LOWER tech at higher TL's...

In this specific case, I was thinking more in terms that the players would be able to relate to, though having it as an option, but only available to certain demographics can be a cause of social tension.

That's the way it always is. The wealthy and or powerful have more options. Will always be that way.

The wealthy are probably the ones who made anagathics illegal, to keep the plebs from living forever ...
