There are some real genetic milestones around the corner and increasing proof that aging is controlled by certain genes. Yeast and nematode aging has already been successfully reduced (increasing lifespan by 2x - 16x!)in laboratories by blocking known aging genes.

I wonder whether this is knowledge that will require suppression due to economic and sociologic impact to society. Will people be paid in age suppression drugs rather than money in the distant future?
