Yup. I'm of the opinion that aging just is a "feature" of evolution. A population with aging has a significant fitness advantage over a population without aging so its not surprising that everything ages (the next generation is almost always more fit than the previous gen so the faster a population transitions to the next gen the more fit it is). But if aging just is a trait rather than some inevitable result of entropy, it leads one to be optimistic for reversing aging at least in principle.
