You think the problem of aging cannot be resolved?

Aging has long been characterized. We understand in which ways degradation happens, and no new ways have been found for several decades. There aren't that many; They can be tackled, one by one.

We have an assortment of tools today that weren't available a mere 20 years ago, and it is our moral imperative to do this research.

There's more people suffering from aging and the conditions it does cause than any other health issue. All of us will eventually degrade, suffer and perish if nothing is done about it.

Improving the quality of life of our aging population by supplementing the shortcomings of metabolism (and thus un-doing aging) is the target.

Longevity would be a byproduct of this.
