Okay, not really. But the results from a Stanford biology team are pretty astounding; they show that in a certain species of worm, aging is accounted for primarily by genes. The press release sums up the implication...
If aging is not a cost of unavoidable chemistry but is instead driven by changes in regulatory genes, the aging process may not be inevitable. It is at least theoretically possible to slow down or stop developmental drift.
Of course, this may or may not be the case in humans. And if you switch off the gene drift, it may not necessarily result in extended lifetimes, aging damage may predominate in our species.
