Is aging a thing of the past?

I mean at the moment it's inevitable. Some of us will die younger, some will live to lose our dignity and become a burden to those we love, but we all die sooner or later. Hoe much worse if any death represented the loss of centuries of joy instead of mere decades!

I dunno, I think someone who probably lived for centuries would probably have a pretty mature view on life (assuming things such as brain problems and dementia were no longer a thing).

I think it would be difficult to postulate living that long. I still have a hard time postulating my future self at 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or 80.
