Far in the future, aging was treated as a disease and cured, causing social stratification.
The entitled ‘long-life’ generation discriminated against those they called ‘newborns.’ They imposed strict population-economic sanctions to maintain their lifestyles, except for inheritance due to accidental death.

Sarah, a ‘newborn,’ hated her second-class citizen status. Nevertheless, her parents had her despite the classification. As a self-taught scientist, she developed ‘the formula’ with centenarian volunteers who desired the ‘old way of life.’

“Tired, achy. My memory’s fuzzy. What’s happening to me, Sarah?”
“What’s happening? Freedom! Freedom for future generations!”
