How are heart disease and cancer not natural?
Aging is also slightly different in that it's how our bodies are supposed to work as far as I understand it, which is not very well (Possibly as a cancer prevention mechanism).

- kelnos 5y ago> How are heart disease and cancer not natural? The parent isn't claiming that; they are pointing out that heart disease and cancer are just as natural as aging. We spend a lot of effort to cure heart disease and cancer, so why not do the same with aging?
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoBecause aging is not a disorder. No one expects heart disease or cancer. everyone expects to get older… regardless if you’d like this or not.
