Is medicine about to make man's oldest dream come true, the dream of youth? The latest discoveries in biology seem to foreshadow an era in which cancer and arterial sclerosis, which still kill, let us remember, two out of three French people, will only interest historians of diseases. However, are we prepared for such an upheaval? Isn't there a risk that the progress of this triumphant medicine will inconsiderately prolong an old age that we have not been able to manage, expensive and sad, and of upsetting the moral and financial balances of society? At a time when our social protection system is threatened, this warning book is also intended to be a book of hope: solutions exist; Philippe Meyer indicates the new rules that will make it possible to reconcile medical progress, cost control and access for all to a happy old age. A new balance must be invented, one of the keys to which is the development of research. Philippe Meyer is a professor at René Descartes University and director of the pharmacology department at Necker Hospital.
