Survey: MindSet 2025 Panel Discussion

Survey: Who Wants to Live Forever?

Welcome!

Thank you for taking part in our survey. Your input will help shape an engaging discussion on the science, ethics, economics, and business of healthy aging. The survey should take 5–7 minutes to complete.

Please answer honestly. All responses are anonymous unless you choose to provide contact information for the prize draw! 😀

1. What is your age?

2. What is your employment?

Other

Section 1: Ethics

How important is it for older adults to maintain autonomy in healthcare and lifestyle decisions?

Should all individuals have equal access to healthy aging treatments and technologies (including those with pre-existing conditions, unhealthy lifestyles, or advanced age)?

If advanced treatments extend lifespan but create financial or caregiving burdens, are they still warranted?

Section 2: Economics & Social Impact

Who should carry the greatest responsibility for financing healthy aging?

Should societies adapt policies (e.g., flexible retirement, intergenerational mentorship, later retirement age) to better utilize older adults’ skills?

What do you see as the biggest economic challenge of an aging population (e.g., pensions, healthcare costs, workforce shifts)?

Section 3: Academic / Research Perspective

Should aging be considered a central public health priority, even compared to infectious diseases or global health inequities?

How much potential do you see in digital tools, genetics/epigenetics, and AI for advancing healthy aging research?

Section 4: Personal Reflection

If you could live to 120 in good health, would you want to? Why or why not?

Section 5: Pharma / Industry

How confident are you that the growing longevity industry (supplements, tech, therapies) is guided by sound science rather than primarily by profit?

Where should private companies focus their efforts?

Section 6: Quality vs. Quantity

If you had to choose, would you prefer:

In your view, what makes a 'life worth living' at an advanced age? What non-medical factors matter most?

Section 7: Cultural & Future Outlook

Imagine it’s 2050 and healthy aging technologies are widespread. What’s your biggest hope and biggest concern?

Is there any specific question you would like to have addressed during the discussion?

Thank you for your participation!
Your answers will directly inform the panel discussion: “Who wants to live forever? The science, ethics and business of healthy aging.”
