How Close Are We To Immortality And Eternal Youth?
New studies say none of this is in the cards, that no matter the genes, the diet, the exercise or the living conditions, we cant stop the aging process. Thanks to huge advances in medicines, medical care, sanitation and healthier lifestyles, record numbers of people are living longer. Ultimately, though, the body does give out. This is true today, but miraculous breakthroughs are in the offing. For instance, the time is coming when we will be able to replace defective lungs, livers, hearts and kidneys as routinely as we do the tires on cars. We may not last forever, but we can live longer and with an ever-improving lifestyle.
