I hope that soon, aging is classified as a disease, and makes it onto that list.

  As fun as it sounds, I think aging is what drives humans to progress and evolve. So just in my opinion, I don't think classifying aging as disease is a good idea.

    Are we still evolving, since we usually die much after breeding ?

      We're currently selecting against drug addicts. It might take a few dozen generations to notice the effect

        Reducing aging wouldn’t have any effect on that, though?

      Yes.

  Ageing is not infectious, so it doesn't make sense for it to be on a list of infectious diseases.
