science just mapped the enzyme that causes aging

Like finally seeing all the gears of a watch and how they work together, researchers from UCLA and UC Berkeley have, for the first time ever, solved the puzzle of how the various components of an entire telomerase enzyme complex fit together and function in a three-dimensional structure. The creation of the first complete visual map of the telomerase enzyme, which is known to play a significant role in aging and most cancers, represents a breakthrough that could open up a host of new approaches to fighting disease, the researchers said.
I don't think they should ever make us have much longer lifespans than we do now. Now if they can give us a higher quality of life till the end that would be awesome. Slow the physical aging down would be great. I'm sure nearly every 40yr old wishes they still had the body they did at 25.
