Healthcare is unfortunately prone to hyperbole. It doesn’t help that they can extend the health span of mice in many different ways, and that doesn’t translate to humans.

But realistically, you have nothing to worry about yourself. You are young. Enjoy life. If you are able to see the singularity, you will experience massive improvements in health span.

Unless we get turned into paperclips by a misaligned superintelligence. Then none of us will be benefitting from improvements in lifespan/healthspan.

Assuming the singularity is a net positive to humanity is a very narcissitic point of view.
