we should reconsider aging as a disease

[Heather Duval]

yeah

[Atvend]

im deadly serious

Yeah? Do you even understand what that would entail? All life on the planet revolves around this condition, but now we find the hubris to proclaim a disease because some pampered up old farts are butthurt that they can't fool around like a bunch of young kids anymore.

no its a disease because it slowly makes your body stop to work

like other diseases

As it is designed to and should. You can go smack your head all day, but that's the norm for all organic life. The entire ecosystem is balanced around it, and to take it away would be to send it into ruin and chaos.

Besides, it's not even a question of methodology or semantics, but philosophy. It is flat out morally wrong to call ageing a disease, being that it is an integral part of every person's growth process. Incredibly simple minded and juvenile.

HUMANS could just stop having children and have a longer healthier life.
and no one designed any shit, there is no god , and if there is not as the one we imagined. there is no afterlife , its mere existence makes no sense as there is no matter indicating the presence of a soul. we re machines with a short spam of life going to shut down soon.

it also isnt part of growth, it is part of decay. you dont grow as you get old , you slowly die day by day. why would you want so if you can live longer?
imagine how we could all improve society if we had just more time , instead of starting to get old by the age of 20 . we could have the luxury of getting multiple decrees , having multiple life experiences , have the luxury of doing mistakes in our lives .
while now , with our short youth we dont have much time left , once we do a mistake all the chances are gone , and we re too old to go back .

there is also the question of accelerated aging , if normal aging isnt a disease so shouldnt progeria be seen as such.

but what about other non aging disease? why should we even bother curing them? why not letting nature do its curse? afterall if you re born with a defective mutation , it is violanting the course of life to inject you specific enzymes .. for example

Aging hits women harder than men with respect to appearance.. Women need soft tissue/collagen to look good. Men need bones more and aging doesn't have as negative of an effect on bones. Men also have thicker skin than women

Death is inevitable for all life on earth including ours. The question is when will it happen?

for my taste both age equally horribly. men for example tend to form wrinkles earlier .
