Gedeon Richter report: 85% of Poles want long life, but not at any cost

A new Gedeon Richter report on Polish attitudes to longevity finds that 85% of respondents want a long life, but only if it involves social connection. More than half reject the idea of immortality if it comes with suffering, dependency or loss of physical and mental fitness. Young adults report feeling lonelier and more anxious about the future than seniors do.
