I think clearly the goal needs to be better branded/marketed to the public - that there's sort of a "you can't get there from here" problem with the "cheat death!" line being pushed by de Grey/Kurzweil vs. the current mindset, and as an even bigger problem is simply that death is an uncomfortable topic to really talk about head on for most people, and it leads to a lot of avoidance/rejection If it could be promoted as something like, live healthier, longer (and really you're very likely to still be killed off by cancer eventually, so I very much doubt v1.0 life extension would see many/any 120+ lifetimes), it would be a much, much easier sell. Feel like you're 40 when you're 75 - that sounds great. Live forever sounds like nerd heresy And, if you can pull that off and build up a big population of healthy 100 year olds, then you've got a base who says hey, this is pretty good, maybe we should shoot for 200 after all? And so on... We won't have that tech at any point soon anyway, and so at this point the vaporware is killing the product
