I know we see aging as a huge big deal in the west, but in the bigger
picture, the world is full of people who never have the priviledge of
living to old age due to disease.
I can't disagree with setting priorities on research spending - first
deal with the diseases and problems that kill or disable younger people
in their most productive years throughout so much of the world. Once
those problems are licked, you can deal with extending lives in our
relatively healthy western world from old to even older.
