This is the other point that I cannot escape when thinking on this issue. Sad but true. We will not be the ones able to afford what the bleeding edge of medicine will offer to those seeking the Holy Grail of longevity. At our very core, the free market societies that will develop these treatments are not set up to solve the problem of how to get the most life saving technology to the most people, but rather to extract the most profit from the various populations where they can.
