"Aging is a disease"

"Aging is a disease" is a phrase sometimes expressed by life extension activists. 
I do think Liz Parrish, and many others (wasn't it Aubrey de Grey too*), make the mistake of saying "aging is a disease" when it's not aging per se that is a disease but the concurrent processes that increase in their manifestation with time typically. Aging is just adding years... but the disease is *senescence*. I.e. body fragility.
Alternatives: «Mortality is a disease».
