Phhhhtttt, next you'll tell me the $25K 4k TV I bought in 2012 can be bought by the masses for next to nothing.

That's great if the item/service in question can be mass produced.

How much has the cost of a heart transplant gone down since its invention in 1967?

Depends on what country you're looking at.
Which a cure for aging would be.
How would we know that before it exists?
Because for it to qualify as a cure it must be mass producible. If it only works on one person, you haven't cured aging, you've merely repaired a body.

Realistically though, we have a pretty good idea of what we're looking for. We don't know the exact combination of chemicals that cures aging, but we know it's going to be a combination of chemicals, and we know we can mass produce those.
