PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Most U.S. adults would not choose to undergo medical treatments to slow the aging process and live to be 120 or more, a survey indicates. Pew Research Center researchers said there is, at present, no method of slowing the aging process to live to ages 120 or more, but by 2050, 1-in-5 U.S. adults will be 65 or older, and at least 400,000 will be 100 or older in 2050. Some say medical treatments might result in slowing the aging to 120 and older by 2050.
