These don't make much sense to me. They seem to argue that some factors are
genetic, some factors are environmental, most improvements come from
self-actions, and that doctors only help extend lifespan in a minority of
cases. I don't see how this argues against going to the doctor. Even a
little bit of an edge is better than none. Even a slight increase in
longevity is better than none.
