I think living forever sounds very selfish, and very sad. It is better to just accept that people will die, and just be happy we ever had a life in the first place.

The thing is, beating cancer is not about living forever. It's about living a life that's closer to average in duration.

It's one of the seven things in SENS's list of classes of biological aging damage:

• Cell loss, tissue atrophy
• Nuclear [epi]mutations (only cancer matters)
• Mutant mitochondria
• Death-resistant cells
• Tissue stiffening
• Extracellular aggregates
• Intracellular aggregates
