Huh? Think of a healthy 30-year-old. Did she age since the time she was twenty? Certainly so. Was cancer and heart disease part of that? Nope, very probably not.
Maybe you mean that cancer and heart disease are a mandatory part of being old. But I see no reason for that to be true. Cancer and CVD rates are certainly correlated with age, now, but that doesn't necessarily tell you what is par of aging per se and what is not.

Think of a healthy 20-year-old. Did she age since the time she was 15? (I'm trying to figure what exactly you mean by “aging” -- if you define it too broadly, then aging is not necessarily a bad thing.)
Google's announcement, Time magazine rather sensationalist headline.
In any case, it's nice to know that Google set its sights to "challenge ... aging and associated diseases". Apple's Tim Cook:

One more step towards "world optimization".
