Ageing Process.
It is quite remarkable, how the length of life, can naturally vary and this is not just in individuals but true for generational scales. Within my lifetime, I have seen the vast improvements in preventing child death through certain immunisations and for many age ranges there has been better treatment for specific lung and vascular conditions.
It is not always that prospect of passing that is so daunting but the progressive deterioration of the quality of life that, for many, lacks appeal. If simple every day tasks become troublesome and slowly human dignity is lost, that can be of significant concern.
Today is a golden age of invention, and there is a realisation that the effects of ageing, is a process that can often be reversed. Scientifically speaking, all living cells have DNA and within them genes that enzymes can switch on and off. Over time there becomes a difference and that difference is ageing.
What if, within an instant, old cells could receive instructions that turn them into behaving as new cells. The results could be debilitating conditions are eradicated and life could be a pleasure once more. The technology to do this in humans is profound and a reality, it can be found in the form of a molecule that does induce the old cells to act as new. However the elixir of extended life has not quite been solved just yet as at the moment there is a physical limit to the number of times cells can renew themselves. Even new cells go though a cycle of renewal but how to extend the length of time between each cycle is surely the next goal for immortality.
People’s ideal idea of age in all probability has to be focused on longevity and quality of life, as these responses to the subject of ageing, can go hand in hand. One would not feel justified in proposing one without the other because quantity and quality are both significant considerations. Ageing is a blessing, but doing it with the most healthy outlook can have a real influence on how you feel and look. Feeling happy and ensuring that you have a fit mental attitude can have an affect on physical stamina and even encourage healthy, fulfilling or life enhancing choices. While immortality might not yet be an option, the body however has a vast capacity for self-repair and that is even without that much acclaimed rejuvenating molecule.
