My sixth grade teacher said something I have always thought about in the ensuing 45 or so years. She was a biology researcher before she was a teacher. She said she had a theory that old age was a disease, or syndrome of diseases, that only affects old people. If we could turn off the signal for the organs to shut down when they get old, folks could go on living.
These days, we can flip switches, so to speak, so maybe one day they could flip the switch that causes organs to age and shut down.
