There’s no proof of decline and death being “intentional” (as much as nature has intentions). At this point it’s just as likely that our bodies just tend to naturally poison us with glycated connective tissue, transthyretin, various peptides and what have you.
- grishka 2y agoThe proof that it's intentional is that Yamanaka factors work. They reset any cell, no matter the age or the specialization, to a perfectly young stem cell. Another proof is that heterochronic parabiosis works. Transplanting an old organ into a young body rejuvenates the organ as well. High concentrations of exosomes taken from young blood also have a rejuvenating effect.
