Longevity Research And “Balanced Reporting”

It's somewhat sad that journalists feel the need to play the "balanced reporting" game for longevity science. This Newsday article presents outrageous minority views - calls for the enforced continuation of mass death, suffering and disease - as though they have equal weight and merit as support for medical research and longer, healthier lives.

It’s somewhat sad that journalists feel the need to play the “balanced reporting” game for longevity science. This Newsday article presents outrageous minority views – calls for the enforced continuation of mass death, suffering and disease – as though they have equal weight and merit as support for medical research and longer, healthier lives. Meanwhile, to quote aging researcher Richard Miller: “For every $100 [the National Institutes of Health] spends on research in biomedicine, exactly 6 cents are spent on research focusing on the mechanism of aging. If what we do in mice were applied to people, many 100-year-olds would be as vigorous as today’s 75-year-olds.” We need more support and more research!
