CJ Gunther for The New York Times IN THE LAB Dr. David Sinclair is trying to develop drugs to extend health, and life. The mice, subjects in studies of health and longevity, are kept in wire baskets under intensive nursing care. A mouse gym holds a miniature exercise machine that tests the rodents’ ability to balance on a rotating bar. In a nearby water maze, mice must recall visual cues to swim to safety on a hidden platform, a test of their powers of memory. Those that forget their lessons are rescued as they start to submerge and humanely dried out under a heat lamp, Dr. Sinclair assured his visitor.
Dr. Sinclair is a co-founder of Sirtris, a company that itself has been swimming in uncharted waters as it works to develop drugs that may extend the human life span.

My doctor is down with it. I’ll just get prescriptions. There is always a control-freak faction in Congress that wants to tell everyone else how to live. And it’s getting worse.
