If I'm considering a career in developing human anti-aging technologies, what major should I choose?

Question

Misha - I give you an honorable mention for that healthy dose of cynicism.

Chemical engineering it is.

Answer 1

Quackery.

Answer 2

Law - join a human rights group such as the ACLU because no matter how good an anti-aging miracle you might come up with, someone from some church in some city in some Town Hall is going to try to stop your anti-aging miracle from getting full FDA approval and proper notoriety. You can sure bet on it! If your lucky it might end up as an as-seen-on-tv product or sold at flea markets or offered by you-sign-a-waiver-first Hollywood medical clinics for the wealthy.  

Answer 3

Sounds like biochemistry would be the best, with possibly a minor in microbiology.  You would need a lot of genetics courses.  

Answer 4

Chemistry.
