Question
Should we invest in research to slow the ageing process?
Position‹2 of 2

No, we should not invest in research to slow the ageing process.

This position holds that funding should not go to slowing ageing, arguing that any benefit would reach the wealthy first, that a longer life may mean more frail years, and that present illnesses have stronger claims on limited research money.
