Does that summary leave anything out? Perhaps the same principle could be applied to other areas. Taking the abstract of the (associate) professor's paper as the template:
"As humans we have the capacity to live - and to die. For millennia living was hard, and dying easy. Medical technology has inverted this. Today, living into old age has become the default. I call for what I term lifespan ecology. I propose a simple rule that reinstates the default of early death our societies have experienced for millennia, and I show how a combination of law and technology can achieve this shift."
