I think that the target of our generation is find the gene or the mechanism that cause the age progress and stop or reverse it ( see for example the research of University of Berkeley about the Sirt3 ), to extend our life forever. I'm a musician and I can only play my synth. But all the Presidents of the nations of the World can and must do more assigning resources to this kind of research to find the meds that can reverse aging-associated degeneration. This is not against the religions, because I think that if God exist and have give us life, I imagine he want we take care of it.
