Science and Aging

Imagine somehow your programming could be rewired. Would it be so crazy if science had somehow won itself control over aging? Afterall, science has made some remarkable progress, hasn't it? Consider how medicine and nutrition have changed life expectancy and you won't doubt my point. Consider the endless progress in areas like air and space travel, information technology, let alone chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology, and the list goes on. If you could live years longer and with aging stopped wouldn't life change?

If you could live eight or nine hundred years just imagine how life would change. You would expect more people would learn things given more chances. Wisdom would be one thing you would guess would be loads more abundant. You'd have time to make yourself more familiar with timeless laws and relationships, ideas that psychology, history, and philosophy attempt to address. You would have scads more time and you could make it your life's aim to really master something--like for example, making choices and weighing probable results. No more would some great race against time ensue, only to master life with twilight fast approaching.
