Stopping the Aging Process?
I think in less than 20 years this will be well understood...but is it something we really want to do?

Did you view the link? Turning off aging (once you reach your prime).

That would be cool but we'd have a whole bunch of problems. I would imagine it's a bit like the new problems you'd have if you won the lottery.
All good mind you... I'd like to have both.  BTW: If the current accident rate stayed the same and we cured ageing the average person would live for about 600 years.

I would liked to have stayed at 55 and aged slowly henceforth. You can't stop a 55 YO bent on doing anything.

Hey, I'm 70. If I could have remained, say, 35, I'd be down with this. But it's way too late for me.

I wouldn't mind it in an Old Mans War sort of way.... Turn 75 and you get a new, badass body.

But People are not just slight computers. They have emotions. Decades upon decades learning knowledge...but this includes decades of EMOTION. Head Verses Heart! How much can one take of Happiness-Sadness-Anger-Fear-Worry? That is a major fundamental ! When has a body/mind and person had enough? Might be better for life elongation being a Lizard. Getting older and just thinking about the now. The R part of our brain.

Pssshhh. That's old news. I've been 27 for the last 26 years. I've got a ways to go before I join Robert Johnson, Janis and Jimi.

For me I'd like to be 28 forever. Whoo, girls were sooo available. Phenomenal energy levels, hugely confident.

Just finished an interesing book (Physics of the Future) by Kaku. He touched on this as already tested and in development via nano-technology. Imagine microscopic "computers" that float around in your bloodstream programmed to identify various characteristics (early cancer growth for example) in cells and tissue. Once identified, anhialate or repair upon contact without you ever knowing.
The next 50-100 years will make the last 100 years look like complete stagnation. Our kids are in for some very cool technological advancement.
