          no, aging is not a disease. Also, even if we define it as such, the problem will be the uneven availability of that cure, because billionaires will hog it. Can’t have 8+ billion immortals. Who also keep producing more immortals. Therefore the tech would be kept a close guarded secret only serving the 0.00001%

            You are so confused. Aging definitely is a disease, curing it won’t make anyone “immortal” more than curing Alzheimer’s, we’re not in a comic book.

            And “the rich will hoard it” is so conspiracy theory that I don’t even.

              So, everybody is diseased, according to this definition. Anyway, do word gymnastics as you like.

              The rich hoard everything, especially things that differentiate them from the plebs. You don’t have to even.

                Well yes, our immune system works hard every second to keep us alive. And also, from conception and onwards, cells get older and less healthy. It’s not rocket science.

                So they also hoard like dental treatments, aspirin, cold medication? Your conspiracy doesn’t work for a medication.
