I'm also thinking profits, niche markets and a graying population.
I don't think it is about preparing us for the blue pill, or soma, or whatever, but I do take seriously the idea that the pharmaceutical industry is encouraging fear of disease and natural decay in order to sell more products. I don't like it, but that's business and is to be expected under a capitalist system. If you're smart, you won't buy into the crap. Just let the other 90% buy in.
