Yeah, I'm really conservative when it comes to curing aging, because the whole thing is a lot more complicated than it looks like. You can't just eliminate it without dire consequences. It's a degradation, but it's one that plays a central role in eliminating stagnation. I'm awfully allergic to oligarchs, and stopping aging would open the door to a completely new crop of überoligarchs that belong to the pages of a sci-fi horror.
