I wish everyone commenting on aging would address the outlier: some animals  
do not apparently age. As I understand it, carp and "goldfish" live an 

extremely  long time for their body weight. In fact they do not appear to age at
all. 
Their  death rate does not increase with age. True they get eaten or sick or 
die by  accident, but no more often at 200 than at 50 years of age. Do 
Hayflick or  Garilov explain this?

It is  clear that Hayflick never read or understand : Gavrilov L.A., 
Gavrilova  Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2001, 213(4): 527-545. According 
Gavrilov  all animals are born with a certain number of defective cells that 
self  destruct. Hence the different rates of  aging.
