I don't really get it though? So he is basically arguing that there is nothing we can do and the maximum age is set in stone? I mean yes, without intervention it kind of is. But I wouldn't bet that in some time there will be an intervention or effective suite of interventions that can reverse aging. Will it happen soon? No probably not, I don't believe that in my life time and I am in my mid twenties, but at some point yes.
It would be nice though if they could come with stuff so we could all die like Queen Elizabeth, very fast at old age without long term illness. I read it is quite common with centenerians.
My mom just died from ALS some months ago and there has been lot of money put into that research and only stuff there are is few lousy treatments that barely do nothing, same with Alzheimers so I am nowadays very skeptical of any medical research and mentally prepared that if I get something I am good as dead
