A huge amount of health care is preserving life in the face of aging. There are a ton of diseases that come from aging, and many treatments for them. This whole thing seems to be about drawing a nonsensical line between “disease” and “aging” and either ignoring the former as a cause of death, or deciding that it has enough effort behind it already. If someone has a cancer that’s going to kill them in six months, and it’s cured with a medical treatment, how is that not extending their lifespan? What would lifespan extension look like, if not a slow, broad development of myriad treatments to treat or cure the many things which kill us?
