I hope neurodevelopmental disorders would also get more attention. Although less people suffer from it than from aging-related disorders, when a child is born with a severe disease it affects not only the child’s life, but also that of parents and siblings. (I don’t mean neurodivergence, I mean severe disorders that prevent a child from being able to walk, communicate, and/or live in health).

In comparison with aging-disorders, so many good years of life are lost.
