Yes. People get really confused when you try to take all these arguments apart and prove to them that we're not done with medicine as a science as long as there are untreatable conditions. And if there are no untreatable conditions any more, then what people would be dying of, barring accidents and crime? So it follows that the end goal of the development of medicine is to make people live forever, in perfect health.
Also, it's absolutely bonkers that what we consider good health is a function of one's age. If you have thin skin and brittle bones being 20yo, that's a serious illness. But if you're 70yo, that suddenly becomes perfectly normal.
