Bioethicist Dr. Craig Klugman weighs in on a few things we’d have to consider like overpopulation. Molecular biologist Dr. Bill Andrews shares that he wants to find the cure for aging with gene therapy as safely as possible.

Nobody chooses to go to a nursing home. Most elderly people are either forced into it go willingly because of lack of options. The shame and depression of unable to take care of themselves kills them, assuming that disease hasn't stripped them of their minds. Not being able to stop yourself from shitting yourself while your family most likely abandoneds you is not beautiful.

I never heard anyone say I cant wait till I grow old

[eddieworkman]

that would be amazing to halt ageing so when you got to 25 or even 30 you could stop there

[supernaturalawesome]

At what age would you stop aging and how long until you die. Heart just stops, no getting old?
Me: 25
Life Span: 1000 years

Against ANTI-AGEING? IS DAT GUY ALRIGHT! EVERY 1 SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON THIS.. We won't over populate cuz there's many different planets in the universe to travel to!
I think 25 should be the max limit if some1 chooses to ANTI-AGE!!

yes it can i want this sooner than later

[templeray]

It doesn't matter what people believe. life expectancy is going to go up by 10 to 30 years by 2030 and by 2045 aging will more than likely be cured.

[annoyingmouse]

Sounds good, but realistically this won't occur anytime soon and even if it does the powers that be will not allow it.

Fueling fantasy is fueling false hope.

*We can help support gene editing companies by investing in their stock, if we want to see the cure to aging sooner!!!*

Look up different crispr stocks.

it would be great to allow brilliant minds to continue living, and those that love life to continue, but i believe politicians should not be given this exception. If you are in any heavy sphere of influence in which your ideas, be they stubborn, should not be allowed prosper in any advancing society. Perhaps when they have retired, and only then their opinions mitigated. Maybe a term limit.

[MireyaR]

Ohh that title. It assumes that growing old a disease or illness that requires “curing.”
