Does science fully understand the aging process?

Aubrey de Grey (Chairman, Methuselah Foundation) gives expert video advice on: What is 'Gerontology'?; Why is it so important for different types of gerontologists to work together?; What causes aging? and more...

We have an enormously long way to go to fully understand the aging process. At this point we, we only just scratched the surface of the detail mechanistic basis of aging. That's really just an example of the fact that we've only scratched the surface of life of how cells work and how organs work, and how they fail to work is just one example of that. Luckily, the approaches that I've been looking for combating aging are very good in terms of side stepping all about ignorance. Being able to develop something that works despite the fact. There's an awful lot to be done to understand.
