There are distinct fields of research that are concurrently going on -- it doesn't make sense to focus on one thing, because not everyone has training in that...

I think this is great. Its getting the ball rolling, and hopefully I'll live to see the day they can make people live for a much longer time than they do now.

Overpopulation? Meh, I'm a selfish gene machine! Regenerative research medicine has so many applications that you can't really say its all about living longer.
