One of the fundamental changes is the alterations to collagen, which forms most of the "scaffolding" of most of the body's structures. If we could find a way to address that it would make connective tissue much better. But that that would still only address degeneration, not wear. I've seen 20 year old with fucked joints. Being young does not equal being healthy! Eternally youthful arteries may not sclerose but they would still clog. There is a limit to a body's ability to repair itself.
I think that's a good thing too. Can't think of much worse than living forever!
Who said you had to live forever? I think if you've lived 200,000 years and you wanna be done with it, I can safely assume you've thought it through pretty well. So who would I be to deny you that?
Now to what you said, I had figured as much. It could still potentially buy you some time for further advancements in medical technology.
There is no God, so can we please get back to science?
