摘要

目前，治愈衰老的可能性在企业家、专家和普通大众中引发了希望和担忧。这篇文章的目的是澄清一些关键的假设策略的工程可忽略衰老议程，最突出的范式之一的复兴。为此，我们提出了本研究计划的三个基本主张:(1)衰老是可以修复的;(2)通过逆转所有分子损伤，恢复活力是可能的;(3)人体是一台精密的机器。其次，我们认为这一议程符合有机体的机器概念(由丹尼尔·尼科尔森描述);我们表明，如果从这种哲学方法来理解衰老，那么在研究计划中，什么是修复和什么是复兴之间存在一个内在的混淆。最后，我们声明，这一理论观点与科学批评相联系，并强化了这样一种观点，即无限期年轻的愿望是有限制的。

The machine-like repair of aging. Disentangling the key assumptions of the SENS agenda

The possibility of curing aging is currently generating hopes and concerns among entrepreneurs, experts, and the general public. This article aims to clarify some of the key assumptions of the Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence agenda, one of the most prominent paradigms for rejuvenation. To do this, we present the three fundamental claims of this research program: (1) aging can be repaired; (2) rejuvenation is possible through the reversal of all molecular damage; (3) and the human organism is a sophisticated machine. Secondly, we argue that this agenda fits with a machine conception of the organism (described by Daniel Nicholson); we show that, if aging is understood from this philosophical approach, there is an internal confusion in the research program between what is repair and what is rejuvenation. Finally, we state that this theoretical viewpoint connects with scientific criticism and reinforces the idea that there are limits to the aspirations to live indefinitely young.
