(When) Do you think the human race will defeat the aging process?

I think any remarkable discoveries will be kept to the elite. Meaning if you have the money to buy this knowledge and treatment, you will have access, but it wont be accessible to the poor in africa, the barrios of miami, or the welfare/shelter cases. I think about it like the HIV situation..there is obviously a successful treatment to keep one healthy with the bug. Look at Magic...the only man to fatten up with the disease. Because he has the money to finance his treatment. If he was a poor bastard, he'd be dead years ago. Same thing for anti-aging. Keeping people alive does not suit this world...the rate of employed to retired would be terribly unbalanced and the economies would crash as we could not support our retired/elderly with social security..The US govt would never push forward on this endeavor publicly for the masses, because of the monumental finacial burder that we would be hit with..I can't even imagine it.

Look up Aubrey de Grey, he can show you why you're wrong. Whether or not you accept is up to you.
