Is it necessary to age?
At a friend’s wedding, he once left a group guests slightly incensed after suggesting that humans of the near future might live to be 100. Similar things happen at dinner parties where people are polite, but not less skeptical. Steele says that a drug to treat ageing is likely to be available within the next 10 year. He believes that we’ll be hopelessly unfortunate if we don’t see a breakthrough in that time frame, considering how many trials are currently underway or are upcoming. These breakthroughs will not result in treatments which extend our lives to 100 years but they will give us the time we need to be alive for future breakthroughs, treatments, and additions in life expectancy.
Andrew Steele, a biologist, believes that ageing can be treated. What would it mean if there was a cure to ageing?
