The same old blind spot in place with respect to aging I see. The cause of two thirds of all deaths worldwide, more than 90% of all deaths in the first world, and the largest share of suffering and medical expensive, all of which falls most heavily on the poor of course.
But actually do something about it in this age of biotechnology and rapid progress in medicine? No, never.
The organizers point to age-related dementia as one of the potential items, but strangely not to attempt or incentivize any work to fix the problem at all through medical research. They treat dementia as a result of aging as a given, something set in stone, a thing to be made marginally better with palliative treatments and accommodations, not fought with medical science in search of cures.
Craziness.
The world drowns and dies in this blind spot related to aging and age-related conditions.
