Aging is a side effect of being alive, resulting from the accumulation of molecular and cellular changes that are inevitable consequences of biological processes.

“And I think that Aubrey sometimes refers to aging as a disease. And so I'd like to talk a little bit about that. But thank you for being here, Aubrey. And can you please tell us a little bit about the SENS Research Foundation. Certainly. The SENS Research Foundation is a biomedical research charity. So we're a 501(c)(3), which means taxpayers can get tax benefits if they give us money. And we do research into the diseases and disabilities of old age. And I'm a little bit cautious in using words like cure and disease in relation to aging because we have to remember always that aging is it's a side effect of being alive. It's the consequence of the accumulation in the body of various molecular and cellular changes that are inevitable consequences of what the body does to keep us alive from one day to the next.”
