Who is to say we are not reaching the levels of irreparable decay or physical damage to render death more likely? Instead of death, how about the years or months before the eventuality where we are losing our capabilities in a variety of methods? I say we are reaching this type of milestone you have spoken about in your comment. Even the tidbit about rich people hogging resources because they are doing exactly that right now!
I say this because I do believe that a lot of research into aging is just finding a lot of strange oddities in our genes, and biological mechanisms. There was never any long term biological process such as natural selection, darwinism and survivorship bias to remove or refine them into something that works better or works for indefinite lengths of time. It is only recently that more humans are able to live 60+ years and that there is billions of humans compared to the numbers of live humans in previous centuries.
