   We are actually already trying to prolong life with our current medicine. We're just doing it very inefficiently 2. Trying to stop aging from happening is not less natural than transplanting a heart, treating cancer with chemotherapy, using antibiotics 3 or vaccines 4. Nothing humans do nowadays is purely 5 natural anymore, and we enjoy the highest standard of living ever as a consequence of that.


  实际上,我们现在就已经在尝试用目前的医学来延长寿命,只是我们现在的作法非常没有效率罢了。试图阻止老化的发生并不会比移植心脏、用化疗来治疗癌症及使用抗生素或者疫苗来得更天然。现今人类的所作所为已经没什么是纯粹天然的了,然而我们却也因此得以享有史以来最高的生活水平。
