You are assuming a great deal that is not in evidence. It's ridiculously hard to raise funds to cure aging and age-related degeneration. Demonstrate that a cure exists, and it'll be easy to raise funds to get that cure to everyone and make it more efficient to administer and distribute. The gap from "exists" to "universally available" will not last long. > It’s not useful to fear in that conquering it will not improve your life. On a scale from zero to non-zero, where death is zero, conquering it necessarily improves your life, by preserving it rather than allowing its senseless cessation.
