Whilst a lot of comments focus on death, I think it's important to also think about the benefits of treating the diseases of aging, such a cognitive decline.
I'm sure most people have seen their parents or grand-parents decline cognitively. This is sad for the individual, the family and also effects society by draining resources. Any research that can mitigate this is worthwhile in my opinion.

Imagine reversing aging and cutting both of those out of the budget. Not only would we bring back a ton of experienced workers but we would also cut federal spending by ~30%.
