Elderly Population Increasing, Experts Suspect Budding

Experts recently announced what we have been hearing for some time: that the proportion of elderly persons in the United States is growing faster than any other segment of the population.

Medical advances, such as better cancer and heart disease treatments; increased numbers of immunizations during childhood; and the like have all previously been shown to increase the average life span of Americans. What this new research revealed, though, is that even with all of these considerations factored in, the population of the aged is still too large and increasing too fast to be explained. Researchers at the Geriatric Institute of South Dakota think they have the answer.

"What we are obviously seeing here is the first ever case of human budding", says one researcher. Budding has thus far been observed only in fungal, mainly yeast populations. "The increasing numbers of elderly people we're observing can not be caused by anything else."

While the process has as of yet not been observed in humans, or any multicellular organism for that matter, experts at the Geriatric Institute are confident they will be the first to witness it.
