Trump/Putin/Jong Un/... forever? Really? I think that would be monstrous.

No matter how unfair things are in life, in the end we are all food for the worms. Already better educated people live longer lives, but once science really 'cures' aging, who do you think will be the first to benefit. And probably the only ones as well?
