#2Can someone explain why this is interesting? It looks like a directionally interesting anti-aging study, but without any major breakthroughs. I'm curious what folks upvoting see in the study that I'm missing.

Its further evidence for a hypothesis on the mechanism of aging. Personally I just wanna know how aging works

If we understand the mechanisms of aging, perhaps we can reduce the health effects of aging. This might be an easier target than increasing overall life expectancy. Thus reducing the impact on society of caring for seniors.
As I understand it, the metabolic rate in most people is pretty good and constant until about 60 and starts to drop off. I would be happy with a treatment that provides good strong health from 60 to 100 and then a sudden death. I don’t want to be infirm/disabled by age, not able to enjoy life and be a burden to my family.

You're free to decline anti-agathic treatment. I still want to visit Saturn's rings in person, so I need to be around 120 for that (wild-ass guess.)

There is a social issue around death that is quite complex. A wish for a sudden peaceful death at a certain old age is not an easy one. Family, doctors, society and laws should be aligned on this. Right now the norm (at least in the Netherlands) is too keep a person alive as long as reasonably possible.

My mother is going through a kind of hell created by laws that prevent her from ending her life as she wishes. I hope dignity around death for the elderly becomes more of a public issue.

Exactly right. This is a total waste of time, and this effort should be spent on something more productive and useful for humanity, such as improving advertising technologies and preventing people from blocking or ignoring advertisements.
