Well... not so pointless. If you look at the demographics of most industrialized countries you'll see a lot fewer 20-30-year-olds than 40-50-year-olds. Even fewer 10-20-year-olds. Fewer people paying taxes means you need to push the age for retirement benefits forward or the system goes bankrupt.

I have had three vertebrae fused (C5-C7) due to stenosis, and it helped me a lot. You need to have good insurance though, because it is expensive.
