Part 3/9:
While research into extending lifespan is gaining momentum, there is a clear distinction between prolonging healthy life and achieving true immortality. The primary focus today lies in healthy aging—striving to help people live longer, healthier lives, free of debilitating diseases. On the other hand, the quest for immortality exists more as a niche area, with limited scientific progress but substantial inspiration drawn from biological curiosities.
Scientists emphasize that, although some work involves understanding the mechanisms of aging, the idea of unlocking eternal life remains highly complex. No current legal or ethical frameworks permit experiments on humans that could approach such goals, and the scientific community recognizes the need for caution and rigorous testing.
