We know that certain biological processes are the hallmark of aging, we just have to figure out how to slow those down or stop them. It's not impossible, just difficult. And it will take a long time, but why not work on it?
Aging is a side effect of being alive, you can't fully prevent the wear and tear happening in the human body just like you can't prevent it in a car (you can add some lube but that only gets you so far).
BUT what you CAN do is repair all the damage.
