Rx and Aging

I am interested in metabolism-changing medications. Pharmaceutical companies may be purposefully researching maintenance medication instead of cures. If they are invaded by economic theory at all in precedence over the hippocratic oath, this would be a symptom of it.

I am also pleased how in Old Friends it is apparent that all of hte characters are dealing so well with being old. They seem very lighthearted and friendly all, even about their medications and inability to perform tasks individually. We all should approach this level of familiarity even in our youth!

Aging

My semi-pro perception of aging on a histriological level was always that cell DNA got old and somewhat 'wrinkled' from numerous reproductions and mid-life mutations or deviations. And like an old rechargeable battery losing its max power over numerous dis and recharges, human life force would fade. Combined with DNA increasing on a statistical level of deviation from original fitness, the old person would either experience a fatal system error via DNA or in a larger organ system resulting from DNA error, or they would become so old and decharged the remaining charge would decide to move on, or be attracted away from the body itself.
