Scientists explore treating aging as a disease
Original: Can aging be treated like a disease? Scientists are starting to find out
Scientists are increasingly examining whether aging itself should be classified and treated as a disease rather than a natural process. CNN reports that researchers are testing therapies targeting the biological mechanisms of aging, raising questions about how regulators, doctors and the public would handle such a shift in medicine. The debate touches drug approval rules, longevity science and how far medical intervention into aging should go.
Why now: New research into anti-aging treatments is challenging the long-held view of aging as an inevitable, untreatable process.
