I'm skeptical of miracle cures. The increases we've seen in life expectancy over the last 100+ years has more to do with eliminating low-hanging fruit - e.g. smoking, vaccines, eliminating infection, diagnostic technologies and treatments, etc. I think we'll continue to make incremental gains via this approach such that avg life expectancy inches up by single digits for the foreseeable future.
