Might be a hot take in these parts, but: I don’t think society should be focusing on longevity research

Quality of life > quantity of life

longevity is literally about quality though

you're thinking lifespan but longevity spend as much time on healthspan

I’m in favor of helping older people stay healthy

But extending the lifespan as an explicit goal feels weird to me

Yeah I understand the goals are intertwined

but I suspect some people use healthspan / “longevity” umbrella term to mask their interest in living forever

again, lifespan is not the only goal, the healthspan (the term for "helping older people stay healthy") is used as often (if not more often) as lifespan when talking about longevity
