What would you choose? 80 yrs, 100 yrs, 120 yrs or more!!!! and on reaching the desired age would we still like to stay at that age or change our minds??Going back in time around 50,000yrs ago human beings had a very short life span; as humans evolved, their lifestyles, dietary habits, and living conditions also improved which resulted in prolonged survival and longer life spans. Today human beings are living longer and healthier lives than ever before however there are unforeseen consequences to this prolonged survival, that is aging or reaching the geriatric age group. The aging results in more disease and sickness in the geriatric age group from processes like decreased oxygen consumption, negative metabolism, solar radiation exposure and many more which hit the body, bringing it down to a worn downstate, ultimately there is loss of the special senses, bones and muscles degenerate, skin wrinkles, immune system becomes weaker, memory and cognition decline.1 If diseases and damage are the highlights of the geriatric years, is aging acceptable? So, then the question arises, Is it good to age? can we slow or prevent aging? If so, to what age should we get old?? Current day medical science is trying is to prolong life and decrease suffering.
