Should we invest in research to slow the ageing process?
Position1 of 2›

Yes, we should invest in research to slow the ageing process.

This position holds that research into slowing ageing deserves investment, since ageing is the shared cause behind the diseases that disable and kill most people, so treating that cause could delay many conditions at once.
