“New Hints Seen That Red Wine May Slow Aging”
This New York Times article suggests that longevity drugs might be not only possible, but developed fairly soon. As I’ve heard that there are already more humans alive right now than have died in all of history combined, that suggests some interesting and disturbing things… I want to live a good long time as much as anyone, but if everyone can do that, this planet is going to get awfully crowded, and pretty darn soon.
This has been covered in a number of science fiction novels, and I have faith that our race will find solutions. But I suggest we start seriously thinking about it sooner, rather than later.
