SENS vs. Alternate Approaches to Age-related Pathology
Approaches to age-related pathology alternative to SENS range from the ubiquitous (post-symptomatic treatment) to the moderately helpful (e.g. hormone therapy) to the promising (nanomedicine) to the unlikely (finding a genetic switch).
One shouldn't write off any technology that would gain just a few additional years of health or are unlikely to be developed anytime soon. Considering the idea of escape velocity, what may gain one only a few years under previous circumstances, even improving one's diet and exercising, could add far more than a few years. Gaining a few years may be enough to benefit from later technologies and gain far more years.
Finding longevity genes, that, switched on or off, would
extend healthy lifespan
