Some context, for those less familiar with the BBC: that piece is the script for A Point of View, a short Radio 4 programme in which the presenter (changing every few months) offers their thoughts on a topical issue, with the emphasis on providing entertainment. As such, it isn't intended to be a serious examination of the issues surrounding attempts to deal with ageing.
It might be worth people responding in the comments, as head-grafting and extending decrepitude are both harmful misrepresentations of what people engaged in this type of activity are trying to achieve.
Ah, didn't realise it was a radio program. That explains the rambling nature of it, when speaking it's more generally acceptable to ramble than it is in writing.
