I believe the future of old people will be old people rejuvenating to a younger biological age, preferably when we're in our prime.

  That's not the foreseeable future, though. We don't even have any lines of research that could plausibly lead to that end AFAIK. Greatly prolonging youth (i.e. slowing age-related damage rather than actually reversing it) seems likely to come much earlier, and even that is a ways off.

    Actually testosterone and other hormone therapies are very effective at making older people feel like they did in their prime.

      Stallone would agree with you: http://news.celebritywonder.com/2008/01/24/Sylvester_Stallone_Praises_Testosterone.html http://news.celebritywonder.com/2008/01/24/Sylvester_Stallon... Would you want to overclock your body in an isolated area, in what would seem an artificial way?

      LSD is very effective at making people feel like they're purple clouds. Making people feel good is not a bad thing, but it isn't the same as actually changing their biological age.

    Our ability to fight aging is greatly dependent on people's willingness to spend , the intellectual resources that we pour into it, and the speed at which innovation happens. (hampered or speed up by political institutions)
