Often "cure for aging" support is written off by people who say "we should increase healthspan not lifespan." But aging is by definition unhealthy.

Corporations would love it. They're complaining about the slowing birth rate.

I hope not. Certain people would get too powerful and ruin the fun for everyone else.

If there ever is a fountain of youth it will be prohibitedly expensive.
Only for the upper 1%
So don't count on it

Wouldn't that create anxiety about the "approaching limit" of our time left? If we're able to prevent and reverse things like the range of arthritis conditions, and minimise cancer to negligible cases, thereby maintaining high QoL until, say, we reach our 80s, i think that could have a negative impact of the collective psyche.
QoL is an admirable pursuit, though, but we dont all want to live into our 80s or 90s.

You don't need to sit around doing nothing forever

We are not meant to live forever for a reason.

I KNOW there have been many, many men in history before me that were significantly more intelligent than me. I personally refuse to believe that not one of those sages NEVER looked into this aging process. I've had enough of it. This "what part will hurt today" is horses**t. I know I'm not the only one.

'no biological reasons not being able to cure aging' - is the telomere theory then disposable?

[nataflet]

It already exists, it's called medicine. If you use it, you live more.

[michaelbatarick]

I hope not, cuz I'll already be dead before they figure it out, nevertheless, it's inevitable that it will happen, suks for all of us

[NiktheGreek]

ageing isnt something to be cured, it is to be accepted.
