A l'encontre des théories courantes, il montre que nous ne sommes pas responsables personnellement. Il adopte ainsi une approche déculpabilisante, en pointant du doigt les "forces extérieures" qui pèsent sur les individus.

Have you wondered why some 60-year-olds look and feel like 40-year-olds and why some 40-year-olds look and feel like 60-year-olds? While many factors contribute to aging and illness, Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn discovered a biological indicator called telomerase, the enzyme that replenishes telomeres, which protect our genetic heritage.
