Our Moral Board · Public-source moral portrait
David Sinclair
A guarded editorial portrait of the aging researcher and author of Lifespan, presented alongside substantial scientific criticism of the book’s claims, translation to humans, commercial conflicts, and public communication.
Sinclair’s work keeps healthspan and aging mechanisms visible as research questions, while its disputes warn IoV against turning animal studies, biomarkers, self-experimentation, supplements, or commercial narratives into human longevity promises.
