Millennials have a chance

>>12562608
a handful of boomers and possibly even 'greatest generation' cunts are already there, and they're occupied by strictly limiting the number who join them.

>>12562608
Not whichever generation you're a part of.

>>12562608
lol life expectancy in the US is lower now than a decade ago and you IFLS dummies still believe this crap.

>>12562608
you won't notice grass growing in real time, only in retrospect
the oldest person currently alive was born in early 1900s
people still rode horse drawn carriages
ww1 hadn't even happened
>20 years before the tv
>60 years before the moon landing
>70 years before home computers

Never you retard futurists

>>12562608
Whichever generation fights in world war 3.

>>12562608
prolly boomers when the millennials had enough and start the purge.

No one, whites and east-asians are dying out, so no one left to develop the tech.

China-1.6

I am a gerontologist working in this area. In terms of birth year, my pd function has a mean of the year 2020 with std of 10 years (this is in terms of atleast 50% of those born in the year having the option to not die of aging, basically bottom 50% is just unhealthy/genetically ungifted people). So, if you were born in 2000, you have a 15% chance of making it. If you were born in 1990, you have a 2% chance. If you were born in 2020 you have a 50% chance of having a 50% chance of making it.

There's no proof immortality is possible and I hope it never happens.

Zoomers. Before they can die of old age they'll die of thirst/ starvation/being beaten to death by raiders after society's inevitable collapse.

There's not a single law in nature that states it's impossible and there's multiple animals which are biologically immortal. It's gonna happen.

>>12567726
Does this factor in that this tech will come in segments that each prolong life?

Whites and East Asians will have a breeder transition eventually. The current trend of low fertility won't last forever, since natural selection will weed the people who aren't breeding out of the White and Asian gene pools.

Based. If anyone ever was on the verge of curing aging, I would deliberately ruin their research.

Definitely none of the current generations
Life expectency is going DOWN because we are more and more sedentary and suicidal;
If you do not currently exercise, eat a healthy diet, and sleep 8+ hours a night, you should definitely not be thinking about your chances of living forever lmao
As soon as we get rid of aging, what ends up happening is everyone gets dementia by their 80s-90s. Getting rid of aging wont be a one-stop shop, where we figure out a trick and BAM everyone is frozen in time at their favorite age, instead it will be very slow and incremental. The first people to experimentally live forever will end up with horrible disease states we haven't encountered yet since aging-diseases only really began when we started living long enough to experience them. Mostly related to Alzheimers or degradation of mental faculties; the first generation will make headlines as they will be the first to be euthanized against their "will" as they wont have any conciousness left to object, and keeping them on life support since they wont feed themselves or move will end with death from one cause or another (just because your cells no longer degenerate doesn't mean you can't die of certain causes, like blood clots/aneurism/aortic dissection, etc). The probability of non-age related death just takes over.
