The Future of Aging
The idea that death and aging might be entirely redefined in the near future is gaining traction, with predictions suggesting that by the mid-2030s, aging will be less about chronological age and more about biological vitality. The discussion centers on the potential for people to remain biologically youthful well into their later years, leading to a society where individuals may appear and function like they are in their twenties, regardless of their actual age. This shift could fundamentally change societal views on aging, health, and physical appearance. Emphasizing the advancements in genetic science and regenerative medicine could pave the way for breakthroughs that challenge long-standing norms about aging.
