Hi Charles,
UH,
I think they are aging as fast or faster than we are.
Doesn't matter how they have preformed in their Youth or Middle age.
Face it we and they have a limited time on this planet / plane of existence
then
we all go to the great beyond where we are all 21 forever and work like we
were
meant to.
