I feel like a lot of the underlying biases behind ageism come from its association with age related health issues though. The only "justifications" for ageism that'd be left once it becomes sensible to assume the average 95 year old has the same cognitive ability as the average 30 year old would be related to expectations of upcoming parental leave and maybe the idea that for two candidates with the same CV, the younger one has accomplished as much in a shorter timeframe and is therefore a better bet. I don't know if there's a solution to these two issues but I doubt ageism would have more of an impact on a person's employability after a hypothetical cure for aging than before. Not to mention the fact that you can always selectively disclose info to potential employers to conceal your age, to some extent.
