Open Letter Calling for Engineering Negligible Senecence!

[elfs]

54 scientist working in the biomedical field have signed a letter calling upon the rest of the research community to take seriously the project of engineering a neglible senecence. Instead of tackling diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimers, etc., we should go to the root of the problem and figure out why the body doesn't repair itself. Instead of looking for a cure for cancer, we should understand why the body's cellular mechanisms fail and intervene early.

We sometimes hear about "premature death," but the fact is all deaths are premature: almost everyone has something more to offer.

Why do you think there'd be sufficient resources to get even a small fraction of the people off the planet?
