Immortality Institute FAQ

You can find the FAQ for the Immortality Institute in the Institute wiki: "How much will it cost to control human aging? Like setting a time frame for curing aging, this is another point at which the best we can do is estimate. Some people set the figure as low as $100 to $300 million, which is less than it takes to develop and bring a new drug to market. Others think it will take $100 billion or more, so as you can see there are a wide spectrum of estimates. Some of the most respected experts in the field put the figure at around $1 billion, but there is likely no way to know for sure. ... Most people who enjoy life can't get enough of it. Even most of those who claim they don't want to live longer than is 'natural' will go to the ends of the earth to cure themselves of cancer, heart disease and injuries when they get stricken. Modern drugs, surgical techniques and diagnostic tools are life extension technologies that few refuse."
