Any ideas?

First you have to make it happen.  It will become affordable after it has existed for a while.

Develop antiaging drugs/technology outside the patent system, through a NPO.

That's what we're here for (eventually)!

If some day I develope anti aging strategy, I will patent it first,so no one to be able to use it for profit, and then will spread it for free

Sadly, SENS Foundation will use patents (they plan to patent a mouse model they are developing, I don't know if they applied for other patents before). I don't think that they will sell antiaging drugs for a high price, but probably they will sell the patent to a company that will do the clinical trials and sell the drug at the price they want. Seeing the high prices of cancer drugs in the late decades, I'm not optimistic about the first antiaging drugs being widely available. Pharmaceutical patents in the US last 20 years, and 15 years in the EU. That's too long a time for someone that is 60 years old when the drugs reach the market. (I will be 60-70 years old by then, probably.)

I am hoping for a type of medicine using bio-identical compounds that are unpatentable. Download the peptide sequence from the internet. Open source medications would have a similar effect that MP3s had on the music industry.

 

Ideally governments would start funding drug trials again. Handing that over to private industry was incredibly stupid. If I had a drug company all I would want to make are hair tonics, diet and boner pills. Your taxes are supposed to pay for research, not the good hearted intentions of for profit pharma companies.

That's the key, trials must be performed by governments or organizations like the WHO or Red Cross.
