There are a group of people who believe that if you can live for the next 30 years you will live forever. Our life extending technology will develop at a faster rate than the small incremental increases to our lifespan from drugs, transplants and genetic sciences.
There is even a book about it Fantastic Voyage : Live Long Enough to Live Forever

Interesting that the mice were genetically altered to lack the protein necessary to repair mitochondrial DNA. As many hard-core athletes know, it's important to monitor your daily protein intake after the age of 35 because your liver can only process so many grams of protein a day. Perhaps the liver's limitations have a role to play in aging, too.
