After reading Anti-Aging is an Oxymoron by Hayflick and Anti-Aging Science: The emergence, maintenance, and enhancement of discipline by Fishman et al, I feel that anti-aging science is a fad rather than a real science. Hayflick starts out by stating an inevitable fact that helped me come to this conclusion: that no intervention can no can slow, stop or reverse the aging process (Hayflick, 2004). Fishman compliments this fact when stating anti-aging medicine is more of a social movement that gives promises and predictions (Fishman 2012). For me to think anti-aging is a real science I would need scientific evidence of anti-aging medicine working, not just predictions and promises.
