S. Jay Olshansky Disability Quotations

The last thing you ever want to do is extend the period of frailty and disability and make people unhealthy for a longer time period. So lifespan extension in and of itself should not be the goal of medicine, nor should it be the goal of public health, nor should it be the goal of aging science.

If we do everything right, the best we can do is live out our potential with as little age-related disease and disability as possible.
