dansmot, I think it would be great if we could keep the elders and still start a new generation. That's what this game is missing...grandparents. I've heard so many say they can't wait for them to die when they get older. That really disturbs me as to the affect that kind of thinking might have on the younger generation who are playing this game.

Lyssaria, you're right! I found out early in the game that the fruits and vitamins will let us keep our little peeps a bit longer. Though, even with that sometimes they die early. At least with the fruit and vitamins mine die with perfect health.
