Abstract
I propose an alternative framework for resolving the debate about life extension. This model builds upon the distinctions that Juengst (et al. 2003) and Wareham (2016) make about different levels and means to control human senescence, to propose the following conceptual categories:
(a) Compression of Morbidity;
(b) Slowed Aging;
(c) Negligible Aging or SENS;
(d) Arrested Aging;
(e) Escaping Aging.
In addition, I have to add several concepts which are relevant for my purpose: indefinite life, virtual sort of immortality or (true) immortality.
