      There is a fundamental issue which many people either forget or choose to ignore. The effort to reduce, reverse or postpone aging should not reflect our innate wish to 'live longer'.Instead it reflects a medical aim to reduce, eliminate or avoid age-related, chronic degeneration, which leads to dysfunction. It is not a matter of simply accepting the finitude of life, because this finitude is necessarily associated with chronic dysfunction and disease which would not be present if we find ways to avoid aging.
