I didn't realize global fertility was still that high.

I'm pretty sure slowing aging to an extent is feasible. There are families where people are in good health until their nineties, and they're being studied.

The really good news is that it isn't their basic genes being special, it's that they have very good protective genes. Perhaps it can be bottled.

I'm not sure it's feasible in the next 50 years.
