It's one thing to ask why we get old and die, which, given the inevitability of death poses a philosophical question, and it's another to ask how does getting old and dying look under a microscope, and hurray for science and medical advances.

I am eternal. My body is mortal. It's not always preferable to extend breathing in a body. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Death where is thy sting? Grave, where is thy victory?
