I usually try to strongly emphasise that curing ageing =/= living forever. I've found it much easier to convince people that curing ageing is a good idea, than living "forever".

Agreed. But if you tell people you want to cure aging, a lot of them jump to 'live forever' - you have to consciously direct the conversation back to aging, if that's what you want to discuss.
