It's pretty simple - all we would have to do is divert a small percentage of world resources, efforts, money etc. into aging research. Then, solve the problem of aging, and then provide the treatment. Simple - they fix a few genes, we don't age.

They will figure this out fairly soon, but you and I will probably be dead by then - perhaps the last generation to age and die!

Instead of addressing this issue, you go about your incredibly stupid life, worrying about some pointless garbage. You probably care more about your sports team or your car or your whatever. And then you die, and your family dies - when they could have lived. Nice going, morons!

Six billion people, and no one has figured out the simple truth - we don't have to die?

And our government leaders, and religious leaders - where are they? They are just empty suits. They are killing us with their stupidity, greed, etc. And we say nothing. Like sheep to slaughter (except sheep don't imagine that they have any intelligence, as you foolishly do, you freaking moron.)

Am I being "harsh"? No. You and your actions (or lack thereof) are killing me and people I care about. In fact, I am being too passive.

Our descendants will look back on us with some horror - an era of peoples who could have largely saved themselves from oblivion, but didn't. Suicidal, negligent barbarians they'll call us - and they'll be right.
