Computer analogies aside, I think that the longevity community (perhaps justifiably) is ignoring some really critical aspects of aging and dying.<p>In the same way as relatively new diseases such as cancer and heart disease have confounded the progress of medicine upon finally mastering the treatment&#x2F;prevention of infectious disease, what new maladies await us when we &quot;defeat&quot; those and start living well past 100? What does the psychological health of a 100++ year old even look like? Will we _really_ want to live that long, and if so, who dies to make room for the living?
