Yup. I'm hopeful about the work associated with Aubrey de Grey and the SENS foundation. Again, this is from a layperson's perspective. My mind was kind of blown by the YouTube videos of the Undoing Aging 2018 conference, especially the speaker whose company is doing work on triggering apoptosis in senescent cells. It feels like things are starting to yield.

In fact, it appears that ones own mitochondrial population can be kept "young" by constantly weeding out cells with poor energy efficiency. Sort of a intra-body natural selection with exercise as the environmental stressor. There is a very interesting book by Nick Lane titled _Power, Sex, Suicide_ that explores these ideas. Not to worry, I suppose, since anyone with even a fleeting interest in "life extension" or "anti aging" would have a comprehensive, extremely intense exercise regimen ... Right ?
