In the 8th and 25th paragraph the article mentions the Methuselah foundation. The article is mostly about centenarians and the compression of morbidity.
The reason why I think it's not spreading the word about life extension properly is that the article said nothing about a possibility of having indefinite lifespans. A compression of morbidity mind set may be harmful for our cause because if the general population and our governments don't have the end goal in sight (indefinite lifespans) we may not get there as fast as we could have. It's kind of like how sending out satellites into earths orbit was not the end goal of space exploration, and compression of morbidity is not the main goal of the Movement for Indefinite Life Extension (MILE).
On a side note, the goal of indefinite lifespans in my opinion should not be the ultimate goal in our sights. After indefinite lifespans is achieved, we should work to cure death itself and make ourselves totally impervious to death, as close as possible to Immortality. I'm not a delusional dreamer, I think anythings possible if you try hard enough.
