The year that I was 26, over two dozen people that I knew died. All separately. I was a wreck that year but learned early that everything is fleeting and precious.
That said, I noticed diminished capability in life shortly before turning 40 and my mom is really struggling at 80.
Longevity does not seem like a good deal to me.
- inglor_cz 5y agoThis type of longevity (extension of maximal lifespan) cannot probably at all be achieved unless healthspan is extended as well. Otherwise all the diseases of aging would overwhelm the organism. It also might work the other way round. Delaying aging might be exactly the same as prolonging healthspan. In that case, you basically have nothing natural to die of.
