QUORA--Are scientists on the verge of finding out how to slow down aging and increasing how long humans live?

One of my fave topics...there's some smart and very informed (esp. wrt timeliness) people on Quora so I learnt a few new things reading this topic.  I'll highlight my fave responses but feel free to peruse the rest of the answers!

Actually after reading a bunch of answers, the 2 that were my faves are probably the only 2 that are sufficiently informed...one person points out that we should focus on raising the standard of living globally before working on reversing aging.  That's a nice well intentioned thought but very naive, based on a complete missunderstanding of how the world works (but I won't go on a long tangent explaining why...).

This one is great, perhaps 2 mistakes are making such a big deal about CEO Liz Parrish (patient zero) apparent age, considering the treatment she underwent was not focused on her outward appereance.  The other is perhaps being overly cautious about everything he reports (I guess it's a refreshing change since almost all news medium's these days do the opposite!)

This next one is good, well informed, with shoutouts to the guru of Aging research Aubrey de Grey. I did a quick google to checkout the poster's bonafides, didn't find anything crazy so it should be legit (confirming my educated guess).
