A LEADING RESEARCHER SKETCHES THE REAL
"FOUNTAIN 0F YOUTH"
• The most realistic way to combat aging is to rejuvenate the body at the moleC-
ular and cellular level, removing accumulated damage and restoring us to a
biologically punger state.
• Comprehensive rejuvenation therapies can feasibly postpone age-related frailty
and disease indefinitcly, greatly extending our lives while eliminating, rather
than lengthening, the period Of late-life frailty and debilitation.
• A comprehensive panel Of rejuvenation therapies could probably be validated
in laboratory mice Within a decade. We would then have a good chance Of
developing them for human use only a decade or two thereafter.
• Removing the causes Of aging-related deaths Will also eliminate all the suffer-
ing that aging inflicts on most people in the last years oftheir lives.
• Aging kills 100,000 people a day: Old people, Yes, but Old people are people
too. Social concerns about the effects Of defeating aging are legitimate but dorit
outweigh the merits Of saving so many lives and alleviating so much suffering.
