The other side assumes that just because we've made progress in medicine, we can eventually overcome aging itself. But that's a massive leap. The record for human lifespan is 122 years, and that's stood for nearly three decades. There's a difference between extending healthspan and rewriting the biology of aging.
Aging isn't a disease you cure. It's the accumulation of DNA damage, protein misfolding, and cellular senescence across trillions of cells. Every system in the body degrades together, and no intervention in any animal model has come close to tripling maximum lifespan. We can tweak the edges, maybe push a few more years, but 300 means engineering a body that can repair itself perfectly for centuries. That requires overcoming entropy itself.
I'd need peer-reviewed evidence, not speculative biotech promises. Honestly, I don't see how we get there. The burden of proof is on the people claiming the impossible.
