shAARP Talk: Observations from AARP

(Category: General AARP)

We've previously covered the changing perceptions on who and what is considered glamorous. Roles have been altered and as boomers grow older, their tastes continue to be catered to. In just one more example of this trend, there has been an explosion in the demand for older models. It's great to see widespread recognition of the fact that beauty is a life-long attribute.

Keeping the boom in older models in mind may be a good thing considering the tough times the economy is going through. Since 1 in 5 people 55-64 have said they are postponing retirement and 1 in 4 people 45-54 said the same, it looks like a bunch of people are going to be looking for second careers. Modeling might just be a way for some folks to help save for retirement or ignite a new career. Are you ready for your close up?

Do terminally ill patients who have
exhausted all other available, government-approved treatment options have a constitutional
right to experimental treatment that may prolong their lives? On May 2, 2006, a divided panel
of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, in a startling opinion, Abigail
Alliance for Better Access to Developmental Drugs v. Eschenbach, held "Yes."
The plaintiffs, Abigail Alliance for Better Access to Developmental Drugs and Washington
Legal Foundation, sought to enjoin the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") from refusing
to allow the sale of investigational new drugs that had not yet been FDA-approval for
marketing.
