For an example of how tantalizingly close researchers are to making real progress in engineering away aspects of aging, you might look at the MitoSENS project at the SENS Foundation. Firstly: mitochondrial DNA damage is convincingly very im

There are some pro-engineered-longevity ethicists. This fellow, for example, is a good example of someone mired in stereotypical ethicist viewpoints (e.g. social justice, redistribution, equality uber alles, etc) nonetheless constructing a
