For healthy adult people, the really big thing we can foresee are ways of intervening in the ageing process, either by slowing or reversing it.
Ageing is very rare. We only see it in humans and laboratory animals and in zoo animals and in our pets. Basically, organisms that are protected from the external world. Once you create that protection, you live long enough to see ageing.
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.

Ageing's a difficult thing, moving closer to death, but it's okay. I've had a good time living, so I'm gonna have a good time dying.
As far as I'm concerned, ageing is humanity's worst problem, by some serious distance.

Ageing is, simply and clearly, the accumulation of damage in the body. That's all that ageing is.
