Too much of a good thing . . . ? [aging process]

The consequences of considering human aging as a disease process rather than a natural inevitable part of life are addressed. These involve: (1) the conceptual realignment of the understanding of aging; (2) the use of costly medical technologies to sustain life at increasingly advanced ages; and (3) the increased cost of caring for an aging population. The development and use of medical technologies and bioengineering are also affected.<
