Scientists in Hong Kong appear to have mapped out a formula that can delay the aging process in mice, a discovery they hope to replicate in people. Their finding, published in the December issue of Cell Metabolism, builds on their work in 2005 which shed light on premature aging, or progeria, a rare genetic disease that affects one in four million babies.
"We actually delayed the onset of aging and extended the healthy lifespan," Zhou said of the mice.

At the rate technology has been advancing, I would imagine this will come to full fruition in not too long.
Talk about a money maker for big pharmaceuticals.

Just as the Manhattan Project was established in 1942 to build the atomic bomb to end WW II... the Manhattan “Beach” Project was founded at the original conference on June 23rd, 2000 as an all-out assault on the world’s biggest killer – Aging.

Ya know, I bet you are correct. I cannot help but think that the elite have access to such a thing every time I look at some of them.
There are a handful of other wealthy elite people who also look half their age and seem to be as healthy as 20-year olds. There IS SOMETHING out there that keeps you from aging, I am CERTAIN.

Age (amongst other things like wear and tear etc, eg. bones) is mostly the inability of cells to regenerate completely anew. The older one gets, the more incomplete and "faulty" cells grow.
And to the one who said "there is no money in that"....BS.... let's say there would be a cure which would basically double the life-span, double the time where someone is active and can work. People would not retire at 65, but at 130
It would also significantly reduce costs for retirement, social security, health care etc..etc...
