Progress Isn’t Fast Enough, But Betting Against Radical Life Extension this Century Still Seems Foolish – Fight Aging!

Despite the slow progress in medicine, it is unwise to dismiss the possibility of radical life extension this century. With seventy years left before the close of the century, the potential for significant gains in human lifespan is substantial. The emergence of a longevity industry signals promising advancements in research and development of rejuvenation therapies aimed at addressing the root causes of aging. The current approach of treating age-related diseases with marginal therapies has shown diminishing returns. However, the shift towards treating aging as a medical condition holds the promise of substantial progress towards longer, healthier lives. While uncertainties remain, the potential for a second longevity revolution through advancements in geroscience offers optimism for the future. Radical life extension may still be implausible in the near term for long-lived populations, but the potential for altering the course of human survival is within reach. Betting against radical life extension in this century may prove to be premature in light of ongoing advancements in the field of aging and longevity.
