Why would you wanna fight aging when we reproduce in such a massive way that we are pretty much doomed? The last thing we need is a bunch of 120 year olds who rule the world.
Well the old people in power just gets replaced withother old people. Making people grow old and die isn't working against dictators either.
But your idea is that it would be better if we became ill even earlier then, like we should stop fighting aging the way we do it today (medicin, operations, transplants...)?
"Kill the old people because of their politics" is all I hear whenever someone argues against longevity.
