Birth, aging, sickness, and death are fundamental issues of existence that no one can escape. As the population ages at an unprecedented rate in many countries, people are living longer than ever, and time spent in the so-called twilight years of life is increasing, posing numerous new challenges for individuals and society alike. We of the SGI, especially the members of the Many Treasures Group, thus have an even more important mission to take on these issues and find new approaches and solutions.
