Check up Aubrey d greys, David sinclair and experiments on animals related to this topic, even about certain species of plants and animals that display countermeasures to ageing

Explain immortal animals then and why it would be unnatural to attempt to duplicate what some animals already do??

because we are not those Animals anyway this does not even matter Ageing is not a disease and cannot be stopped

Actually it can be slowed. If it can be slowed via various methods, it can eventually be stopped.

Aging is is simply replication failures in cells across the body compounded until death.

No it cannot be slowed or stopped this study from the university explained what I am talking about I can’t find the actual paper but here is the article

Do you just believe everything you read?

"There is little science can currently do to stop or slow aging."

This has nothing to do with future advancements.

Perhaps actually read the full article instead of nit picking this clearly has a big effect on future advancements

Yes and scientists said we would never fly. Or that we would never fly faster than the speed of sound. Don't believe it when scientists say you cannot.

"No! Suffering is natural! You can't have life without suffering. Just give up, scientists. You've got nothing on mother nature."

People also said we would have flying cars by now and some AI experts in the 70s said they would build AGI in 12 months we should always be skeptical of optimistic claims be it someone claiming the future or saying something impossible both should be taken with a grain of salt but if they have genuine reasons then there’s No reason to completely reject something

It's sensible to skeptical of a futurist, but it doesn't make any sense to just outright deny what aging researchers think.
