Living healthier
Is an end to age related diseases on the horizon? This wouldn’t help healthy individuals, but it would be a boon to people who suffer from these diseases:
Cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, heart disease: All have stubbornly resisted billions of dollars of research conducted by the world’s finest minds. But they all may finally be defied by a single new class of drugs, a virtual cure for the diseases of aging.
Call me crazy, but I think it would be great to live forever. Obviously, the above doesn’t address absolute lifespan, but we are getting closer. In my view, there is simply too much to do and see, why not spend forever doing it? (is their an inverse reaction, which would cause people not to do anything simply because they have too much time in which to do it – where is the motivation?)
