Aging is basically the build-up of error: error at the genetic level, error at the cellular level. Cells normally repair themselves; that's why you heal when you get a cut. But even the mechanism of repair eventually falls apart.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Aging is mostly the failure to repair.
The thing about getting older is the injuries. You just get injured more often. You take time off, you come back, you get injured again and you never get in shape.
Aging is not currently regarded as a disease, but researchers tend increasingly to view it as the common origin of conditions like insulin resistance or cardiovascular disease, whose incidence rises with age. In treating cell aging, we could prevent these diseases.
Ageing is, simply and clearly, the accumulation of damage in the body. That's all that ageing is.
'Aging' has been bad ever since we figured out it led to dying.
Ageing is so many different things, and cells being able to self-renew is part of the picture but not all of it.
The way that we are going after ageing, I think, is a problem. The modern medical model is basically designed to attack one disease at a time. Independent of all other diseases and independent of the basic process of ageing itself.
If you can slow the biological process of aging, even a minor slowdown in the rate at which we age yields improvements in virtually every condition of frailty and disability and mortality that we see at later ages.
I think science has begun to demonstrate that aging is a disease. If it is, it can be cured.
There's no such thing is aging, but maturing and knowledge. It's beautiful, I call that beauty.
