How close are we to end aging?

We're a long way away.

The point we're at right now is that it is no longer really viable to continue increasing the ability of the body to continue living if we cannot get the mind to live past 80 or so.  The mind is much more complicated than the body, and a part of the reason for our absurdly high healthcare expenditures is that we as a country are spending a lot of money keeping old, demented people alive who retired at 55 and are now in their 80's.  So it's not economically viable.

It's also not really viable in terms of the quality of life tradeoff.  Geriatric medicine today takes a huge toll on quality of life.  So there's a lot of cost-benefit analysis that needs to be carried out there too.

I'd guess that we, the Millennials, can be expected to live a good deal longer than the preceding generations just due to sensible eating habits, basic consumer protections implemented in the 80's and 90's, and the benefits of modern medicines, but "forever" is still a long way in the future.
