But if you really think about it, with the growing areas in nano technology, the answer to aging will probably lie somewhere with that. Mutations and repairing of cells may easily, say 10-15 years in the future, be fixed by specified nanites that travel throughout the person's body constantly repairing. By then, the human race will probably have or should be out off of earth, and on to different planets (mars and such) that population growth will take some time to be effected by this age prolonging procedure. (not to mention the fact that it will probably cost in the millions or billions..) I've also seen readers posting about how living for 1000 years may suck, truth is, if this were to work, people would age at a proportional rate. i.e once the procedure is given to the person, they will either stay at the current age or just age alot slower, not just adding onto the years you would usually have.
