Default living forever?

yes the cool title is just to grab your attention

well here's the thing. for a while now alot of researches have been dedicated to find a cure for aging(growing old) aging is actualy a cell process, and not simply a random work of time, there is a protein in our cells that makes our cells age by shortening our chromosomes after each cell division(there are also other theories about aging. cancer cells do not have that protein, therefore cancer cells do not age and can divide and live as long as they can still eat ). anyway not the point here. it is believed that there might be a hope to eventualy find a cure for growing old, but opinions vary on wether or not this would be ethical/unethical or against some religious beliefs etc...

what would be your opinion on te matter if such a thing was made?
