I honestly can't even remember the context, but I was talking with a guy who was literally doing anti-aging research centered around the decline in production of certain proteins that regenerate cell tissue. He felt very convinced that they'd have some kind of human-ready treatment in another ten years.

Then there's Cuba's research into neuroalcim, trailblazing treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. We've got a litany of treatments for various forms of cancers that have turned it from a death sentence into a chronic condition. The FDA just approved a treatment to delay the onset of Type I diabetes.

Medical progress is being made. We can and should be a society that's expecting to live longer than our parents and grandparents. But even that isn't "age reversing" so much as "age delaying". There are so many other fucking problems, both internal and environmental, that a single solution can't fix. Modern research grants you the opportunity to live somewhat comfortably into your 90s, but its not going to keep Tom Brady playing football into his 120s.
