Aging is modifiable. Animals age differently in nature: some live hundreds of years, some don’t seem to age at all, others are immune to age-related diseases common in humans.
Scientists have edited genes in lab animals to extend lifespan 2-10x and developed drugs that extend lifespan 25% or more. No law of physics prohibits us from eventually eliminating aging completely.
Most importantly, all of us have reasons to live healthier and longer. Whether it's endless curiosity, more time with loved ones, solving problems, creating art, or just enjoying life.
There are countless good reason for humanity to cure aging. Conversely, the suffering of diseases and death are not a moral solution to any problem humanity faces.
