Anti Aging Research

Anti-Aging Medicine and is implications?

Currently I'm reading articles on medical research, anti-aging: the doctors, apparently many cutting-edge that has already been verified that the anti-aging medicine is possible, and I think it is reasonable to assume a "cure" for aging is very soon, maybe in ten or fifteen years. I initially found this rather frightening prospect of comfort. Why is this? What are your thoughts on the fight against aging?

I find it interesting that 3 of the 4 responses so far are nominally positive. However, when someone raises the question of whether he would like to be immortal, the responses are overwhelmingly negative. I have to disagree with Guru above. Despite what the cosmetics industry might say, anti-aging medicine is not only younger _looking_. This is _being_ younger. And not all do so for fear of aging and death. Some keep us out of a love of life and all it has to offer. Some people say we should accept aging and the grace of all the problems that go with it. I think that to be a defeatist attitude. Aging has its advantages, but nothing that can not be improved by having health and mental clarity of someone half his age. Also, sure anti-aging medicine is available only for the rich ... at first. Such were the computers, cars, and plane trips. But like all things, is only a matter of time before the price drops enough to be affordable for the masses. It has been estimated that the human body, while maintenance and repair could easily go on for 120 + years. With advanced biotechnology few decades on the road, who knows how long I could live these biological organisms? Even further down the road, carrying the mind could one day carry out our fragile and not living organisms and meat lasting almost indefinitely. A bad part of life expectancy is that dramatically advanced a bug in the social security system. I do not consider this a big problem however, because even if the average life is where it all now, it's only a matter of time before collapsing SS from the start was never sustainable indefinitely. For the growth of population, most of today and the future is / will be in third world countries. In most industrialized countries, pop. growth has stabilized and and in an increasing number of countries including Japan, Russia and Italy, populations are declining. It was for many decades, if not a century before radically from one increased longevity contributes significantly to the global population. And by then, we have (assuming no major wars or return to another theocratic Dark Age) a space-faring species the ability to spread out the world. Then a couple of books on the subject you might want The first is the biotechnology revolution coming, and some radical developments already under investigation. The second is more of an transhumanist, but the title speaks for itself.
