# Stephen Bachelor Aging kills ~130 K people / day.  So, every day that...

*July 11, 2023 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Stephen Bachelor's comment.*

Stephen Bachelor Aging kills ~130 K people / day.  So, every day that a cure for aging is delayed, 130 K people die.  Everyone now alive will be dead in 135 years. AI's offer the prospect of dramatically accelerating anti-aging research: cryonics, uploading, aging reversal. AI's to date, have killed almost no one.  (AI guided cars have killed a few people accidentally, and AI guided drones have probably killed a few people intentionally.) So, letting regulators slow aging research will doom millions of people to guaranteed death in exchange for preventing deaths that so far remain in the realm of speculative fiction.
