No, gerontology is the research of aging in social and medical contexts. Radical longevity is, to me, the same as searching for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. You differentiate your quest from aging research, and you say you try to “cure death” not cure disease. These are fundamentally different goals, but you see them as the same. They are not the same. This is where we disagree.
