My educational background in molecular biology (although it was so long ago I feel like saying - Has thou a need for an alchemist?) Aging is built into the genome. Now how and how to slow it down are still unknown. It'll take a full knowledge of how and when proteins are built, and a knowledge of how to stop adult gene from being eroded away during cell division to get there. We're just starting on the protein study and my guessimate is that it'll take 50 years to complete. That's the postcard short answer.
As to why? Look around you. Power over life and death is the ultimate control of government...
