What a thoughtful essay, beyond science, although rich with science.
I feel like an expert on this subject. My 76th birthday is this month. I lost two siblings already and another is now suffering from cognitive decline. He is 80. A fourth sibling will be 79 next month, is diabetic and experiencing issues with mobility. The remaining sibling is a year older than I am, hearty and hale. So this is the basis of my expertise.
I think, if regeneration meant better health while we were alive, that would be a good thing. Extending useful life would be a good thing. But at some point, we really should, as you say, "rest". There is a matter of resources.
I've had a generous portion of life, more than many. It seems my family still needs me, but I never want it to be the case that I need them. When that happens, I think I will have lived too long.
This is a personal response to your thoughtful, objective, scientific article. I get busy and forget to read your blog, but am richly rewarded when I do.
Take care, @cyprianj
