Abstract
Elsewhere in this issue, Marios Kyriazis articulates a sharply skeptical assessment of the feasibility of medical rejuvenation, otherwise known as the “damage repair” approach to postponing the ill health of old age. His critique incorporates many errors of fact and/or interpretation and/or logic, which I enumerate here. I recognize that many of these errors are by no means Kyriazis's alone but are shared by numerous observers across the full range of biological expertise. It is for that reason above all that I hope this exchange will be of value to readers. Additionally, Kyriazis raises a number of valid concerns that have not been systematically addressed, by myself or by others, in past publications; I will attempt to remedy that here. For clarity, I will not structure this response as an essay, but instead as a simple point-by-point list of comments concerning individual statements and inferences that Kyriazis makes.
