Do you believe life extension is technically possible? How about desirable?

Finally had time to carefully read the new preprint that claims to reverse the age of rats by 54%. I spoke to the first author & in this thread ask whether the results are believable and what if it is true? tinyurl.com/yapwdy87 1/n

A better term might be “youth extension”. Many people think life extension would just mean more years as a senior citizen. But if we could keep you at 20-something from a physiological standpoint, or even get you back there, that would be very different.
