There is a reason that evolution set our expiry date at a maximum of 100 years or so.
Yeah. Because 16 years was enough to reproduce, but in order to reach that age you needed to have a body that didn't fall apart the day after. So we tend to have a "long tail" lifespan where we are currently able to extend the tail.
But this isn't about extending the tail - except as an intermediate step, I want to extend the ramp-up and stay there! And right after, evolution and I are going to have a nice little chat about how we are going to proceed from then on - with me in the driver's seat. Because if we can control our aging process, we are likely in control of much more. And I so want to fix our rather haphazardly designed bodies...
Eternal youth WILL come. It's prudent to prepare for it, even if we ourselves may not live to see it.
