Abstract
We live longer today than ever before in the history of humanity. However, the maximal lifespan is only very slowly rising. A paradigm shift on the part of public authorities for much longer and healthier lives is to be hoped for and encouraged. When policy makers will see ending all age-related diseases as a possible goal with real advancement while they are politically active, they could become even more enthusiastic in support of life extension than they formerly were in support of 'deathism'.
