Should aging be construed as a disease? Will the development of aging drugs exacerbate or help redress health disparities? Should the development of such drugs be construed as something harmful or beneficial to planetary health? And how might rate control impact the health and well-being of women, who survive longer than men but with poorer health?</p>
