The author, mentioned in my opening post, is a science writer and describes how some, like Aubrey de Gray are thinking of aging as a curable disease. And Aubrey has a list of seven deadly things that need to be worked on.
Here is his list:
1) molecules grow tangled and stiff, they are called cross-links
2) mitochondria in the cells fail with age
3) junk collects inside cells
4) junk collects between cells
5) some cells get old and dysfunctional but don't get replaced
6) some cells die and poison other nearby cells
7) cell mutations (in genes) bring forth new cells that build tumors
God gave gerontologists the brains to study the problems of aging and to seek solutions for those problems. God bless biologists, gerontologists and others who try to make life better and, at the same time, more interesting.
Do hear an "amen"?
Amen!
