No brainer: healthy old age makes sense

Great to see publicity for this age-old question which, hopefully, will stimulate sufficient funds to give us all a healthy old age.

How short-sighted of governments to fail to invest in the necessary fundamental research despite the prospect of immense savings in future healthcare and the boost to our economies from healthy older workers!

So often i hear the rich claiming to accumulate wealth to pass on to their children yet Aubrey de Grey comments that older rich people are reluctant to contribute: come on you guys, time to stop being so selfish!
