Letter: Nothing 'super' about looking younger than you are
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE PEOPLE in Geraldine Bedell's article do look their age.
They may not look like the popular stereotypes of particular ages, but, unless they've had plastic surgery, they must look like what they are. Is there a British standard for ages? Or is the Government going to introduce testing at certain ages to make sure that all 50, 60, 70-year-olds, etc, reach agreed standards?
Will those of us who fail to come up to scratch in these tests be given a little remedial wrinkling?
When are we going to accept that all people are individuals and throughout our lives we change and develop at different rates?
