古希腊历史之父希罗达图斯在2500年前就记载了一个被称为“青春之泉”的传说。无数的冒险家寻找传说中的水域，无数的小贩出售梦想和/或已知的虚假承诺来充实自己。虽然年龄逆转是一种古老的骗局，但最新的版本已经达到了虚假合法性和炒作的新高度。哈佛大学科学家大卫·a·辛克莱（David a . Sinclair）在记者马修·d·拉普兰特（Matthew D. LaPlante）的协助下撰写的《寿命：为什么我们会变老，为什么我们不必变老》（Sinclair and LaPlante, 2019）在书的后封上提出了两个反事实的问题：“如果衰老是一种疾病，而且这种疾病是可以治疗的呢？”
Herodatus, the father of ancient Greek history, recorded lore about a what has been termed a fountain of youth 2500 years ago. Innumerable adventurers searched for the legendary waters and countless hucksters sold the dream and/or known false promises to enrich themselves. While age reversal is an old grift, the latest version has reached new heights of feigned legitimacy and hype.Lifespan: Why We Age and Why We Don’t Have To, written by Harvard scientist David A. Sinclair with assistance of journalist Matthew D. LaPlante (Sinclair and LaPlante, 2019), proposes two counterfactual questions on the back cover:“what if aging is a disease—and that disease is treatable.”
