These treatments, some existing in prototype forms, and some yet to be constructed, are based on repair of the forms of cell and tissue damage known to cause aging. It is a good article to show to a friend who has expressed interest in greater human longevity, or to mine for talking points to use when you next bring up the topic with those unfamiliar with the current state of the science. You might also compare it with my bullet point list of the high points in SENS advocacy, research, and fundraising over the past fifteen years. Efforts to explain the history and progress to date of SENS rejuvenation research are useful and necessary. The SENS Research Foundation does a good job in summarizing the causes of aging and the research programs that will tackle each cause.

They don't however, tend to publish much that links all of the stories together, to show the scope of progress over the lifetime of the SENS programs, and the positive changes that SENS researchers and advocates have created in the culture of aging research.
