Billionaires are funding the creation of life-extending pills that will eventually hit the market for people to buy, says SmartWater Group CEO.

Phil Cleary says the quest for the holy grail of medicine is 'ego-driven' and risks creating a planet of posh, privileged zombies’ Instead of prolonging the lives of the rich elite, he says, their money would be better spent on starving children.

Theologian Dr. Niamh Middleton of the University of Dublin agreed and said humanity “could be lost forever” if Silicon Valley succeeded in its goal.

“In our pursuit of extending life, let us first turn our attention to the most vulnerable among us,” she said.
