The medical industry is going to get disrupted in a big way. My forecast is that we will look back in 10 years and laugh that we argued over how to pay for medical costs. Things are going to get substantially less expensive when it comes to medicine.
I believe the present biological cap of about 120 years will be exceeded in the next 20 years. One of the biggest problems is the damage done to cells from the metabolism process. This is why fasting is considered a way to extend life (traditionally). We will over come this at some point.
If you look at the diseases that took many people down are being attacked. Heart attacks are less fatal than in the past. That killed people in their 50s and 60s...now people who dont die from heart attacks get cancer. We are making progress there which leads people in their 80s getting dementia. Of course, we see a lot of research in this area.
The next 10 years will see a radical advancement in medicine. We still are in the dark ages overall when it comes to the progress we are going to make.
As for the tech titans, they are young and rich and now want to live forever.
@taskmaster4450 thanks for adding a reflective and informative comment :) I believe we're gonna laugh as well, at many things. Great that you mention fasting this is indeed pretty interesting. It should've been taught in school, cause it benefits both mental and physical health not just in extending life.. Way too many essential things which should be general knowledge sadly isn't taught in school.. but hopefully in not too many years we will see a shift!! Thank you so much for sharing your words and tag originalworks ! :D Appreciate it! Thank you! But most of all, thanks for reading!
@clumsysilverdad thanks for dropping me a comment and upvoting :D ! That sounds like a great thing to do hehe, luckily it seems like war is decreasing and I think that for sure will continue. Don't know about the timeline though he he.
I believe good medical insights and findings will come out of these kinds of research even though even if we reach the longevity cure or not.. Exciting times! Thank you so much for taking time reading my post :)
@garethnelsounk !! Exactly! Great to hear that you think this way too he he! Thank you for dropping me a comment and for both upvoting and resteeming it :D <3

I think we should end war and environmental contamination first. That would be more logical. Upvote ! Peace (-:

Upvoted and resteemed - it's nice to see others share my view that we should address aging itself and cure this horrendous disease.
