At this point I almost expect an article titled "All oxygen-breathing organisms are a fatally flawed design and are doomed to never live healthy no matter what".

The SENS people say, if you live long enough, you will eventually have cancer.
Without living on the edge, you don't get complex, powerful organisms (like mighty trilobites).
Plus, there's no telling how much reprogramming for stronger oxidization-repair mechanisms can provide. Mammalian mitochondria are inferior to bird mitochondria (and birds have them in their blood cells unlike us which may help[1]), allowing birds to live longer even with higher metabolisms than mammals. Evolution hasn't exhausted the possible. There's hope!
Just not for us. :) Which is fine; everything's fine.
