Is aging a thing of the past?
#6
RE: Is aging a thing of the past?
Dunno about reversed aging. One of the fundamental changes is the alterations to collagen, which forms most of the "scaffolding" of most of the body's structures. If we could find a way to address that it would make connective tissue much better. But that that would still only address degeneration, not wear. I've seen 20 year old with fucked joints. Being young does not equal being healthy! Eternally youthful arteries may not sclerose but they would still clog. There is a limit to a body's ability to repair itself.

I think that's a good thing too. Can't think of much worse than living forever!

Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
