Drugs to help us live to 100 may be available from 2012

Amazing and a little scary:

Drugs to help us live to 100 may be available from 2012
| Mail Online
: "Medicines that can help people live healthy lives to 100 and beyond may be available in as little as two years, an expert said today.

The drugs have come out of research into age-related ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer's.

To satisfy the requirements of drug regulators and the market they are billed as remedies for specific illnesses. But in actual fact they tackle multiple causes of unhealthy ageing, according to Professor Nir Barzilai, one of the world's leading age scientists."
