Here it is. Just about everything I have to say about the subject. I didn't write it, but the author has mind melded with my brain. The writing style is very similar to my own.
For my professional scientists friends, this article contains a gazillion citations - like any good article on a controversial subject should.
For everyone else, this is a long article. But it's an easy read written in common English. The only technical term used is "senescence". Simply put, senescence is clearing out your growing number of zombie cells that are running faulty or outdated programming and refuse to die.

@ScienceBiker People have been known to get bored of life.
I read an article that gives about two examples of animals that do not show signs of ageing and lobsters was quoted as one of them. Similarly they did not expect them to live forever because of the dangers posed by disease and fatal traumas. Lobsters suffered from being deliciously endangered.
