生物衰老基础科学的最新发展提高了延长人类寿命的可能性。本文考察了生物老年学内部关于衰老本质的争论，确定了通过参照特定种类的知识来构建老年的方法，从而考虑了科学文化对老年的当代意义的影响。对衰老和死亡的定义侧重于生物学上的失败，导致了对老年的文化建构，从而贬低了整个生命过程中的多样性。
Recent developments in the fundamental science of biological ageing have raised the possibility of extending the human lifespan. This article examines contests within bio-gerontology as to the nature of ageing, identifies the methods through which old age is constructed by reference to particular kinds of knowledge and thus considers the impact of the culture of science on the contemporary meaning of old age. Definitions of ageing and death that focus on biological failure lead to a cultural construction of old age whereby diversity across the life course is devalued.
