Robert Mugabe, forever.

  I guess I've been too brief in my reply, but no one has addressed the elephant in the room. "Revolutions" in Libya and Egypt we saw recently aren't frequent occurrences. Many dictators in history have stayed in power until the day they died. Yet, they are some of the people most able to afford "immortality". Previously, if you had a very evil and capable dictator, the populace suffers his rule for at most half a dozen decades.

    Would you be willing to set off a tactical nuke in Harare if you knew it would kill Mugabe? Let's say you predict the nuke will kill 1,000,000 people. 150,000 human beings die every day. About 100,000 of those are age-related. No dictator can hold a candle to that. Dropping that nuke is equivalent to delaying a cure for aging by 10 days. And yet you want to delay a cure indefinitely? That would condemn billions to the grave.

      And yet you want to delay a cure indefinitely? I did not say that. See goblin89's comment.
