The time you have remaining is not a fixed number. It is increasing at about one year every decade at the moment, and that rate of increase might leap dramatically in the near future.

You can either be a freeloader, roll the dice and see where the work of other people on medtech takes you, or you can help to increase the amount of time you have left. Participate in initiatives like http://healthextension.co/, or donate to the SENS Research Foundation.

It is interesting to see that in a community ostensibly focused on creating change the first response to length of life line items is usually that length of life and trajectory of life is fixed and immutable.

For a middle class person, they are probably better off saving their money rather than funding life extension research. Having money enough to get good health care in their old age will extend their life more than adding a few dollars to research they would barely speed up thanks to the small amount. Heck, the money might even be needed to buy application of the results of the research. If you are rich, OK, fire away at funding life extension research.
