Editing Longevity Science and the Ending of Aging (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Understanding</span> ==
Longevity science is understood through '''Maintenance''' and '''Information'''.

'''1. The "Rubbish" Theory (Damage)''':
"The House is Falling Apart."
* (See Article 630). **Aubrey de Grey** "Argues" that "Aging" is "Just" "Metabolism" "Creating" **"Damage."**
* There are **Seven Types** of damage (e.g. 'Cell Loss,' 'Mutations,' 'Junk inside the cell').
* If we can **"Repair"** the "Damage" "Faster" than it "Accumulates," we can "Live" **"Indefinitely."**
* "The Body" is **"A Machine"** (see Article 681).

'''2. The "Loss" of Tuning (Information)''':
"The Cell Forgot its Job."
* (See Article 148). **David Sinclair** "Argues" that "Aging" occurs because **"Epigenetic Information"** (The 'Instructions' for 'Which genes to turn on') is "Lost" over time.
* It's like a "Scratched CD."
* By "Using" **"Yamanaka Factors"** (Genetic switches), we can **"Reprogram"** "Old Cells" to "Become" **"Young Again."**
* "Youth" is **"Resetting the Software."**

'''3. The "Death" of the Old (Senolytics)''':
"Clearing the Zombie Cells."
* (See Article 301). **Senescent cells** (Zombie cells) "Accumulate" as we age.
* They "Cause" **"Chronic Inflammation"** (Inflammaging).
* **"Senolytic"** "Drugs" "Selectively" "Kill" these cells, "Restoring" "Vitality" to the "Tissue."
* "Recovery" is **"Cleanup."**

'''The 'Longevity Escape Velocity' (LEV)'''': A "Hypothetical" "Future Point" where **"Medical Progress"** "Adds" **"More than One Year"** of "Life Expectancy" for "Every Year" that "Passes." If you "Reach" this point, you "Can" (in theory) "Live" **"Forever."**
