What is medicine's goal? To help us live a healthy natural life? We already live well past our evolutionary natural lifespan. Chimps, for example, share over 98% of our DNA and they live between 40 and 50 years in the wild, which is about what we used to live a few hundred years ago. My grandad was 99 when he died and there was a French woman who lived for 123 years. That's 3 times of what we are supposed to live.
