To an extent this has happened with Cystic Fibrosis and HIV+ patients. Many have trouble dealing with a future they hadn't prepared for and thought wasn't going to happen.

Living longer is not automatically some magical gift.

I like to think that we're in a golden era where most of these hideous diseases are eradicated or at least made manageable in the next 25 years, with the problem virtually solved in 100 years. Too late for me, but what a world it will be then!
