The real question is whether you believe the science is not there yet, or not there at all? If it is possible then it is perfectly understandable that people would be willing to throw money at the issue even if it is decades away, mostly because a lot of things remain decades away because those decades need to be full of research that nobody wants to spend money on. On the other hand if it is impossible (or at least impossible without some sort of impossible to predict advancement in biological science) then this is just another attempt to funnel money from people by playing on fear of death.
