By increasing longevity, we have created an epidemic of Alzheimer's disease. Living longer is/probably the sole reason we have that disease. When people died in their fifties very few cases were around.

Should we quit trying to find ways to extend the human life so we can all live to 100 ? I doubt it.

Sure, we create problems for ourselves sometimes. Then we try to find cures for Alzheimers and all the other things we've inadvertantly and/or purposely done for and/or to ourselves.

Know this: If it can be done, it will be done. That is God's and/or Nature's will. Fate's way too. What will be, will be. If it's not acceptable now, it will and/or might be that in a few years. There were moral and/or religious objections to post mortem disection in the 19th and the early parts of the 20th centuries that rivaled the arguments over using fetus remains for stem cell research. That created a huge business for grave robbers.

If not now, we will do it later.
