Hello.
I recently watched a short documentary on why we die. Although i may of missed a few steps along the way the basic jist of it seems to be are cells are programmed with a number of possible divisions that can happen before they cant divide anymore due to a protective sealant on the tips of the DNA standards (i cant remember the name of it).
However when a Cancer cell divides the sealant it has dose not get any shorter, so it can divide an infinite number of times.
Could this be the key to prolonging the human life span ? now i have no clue and genetic engineering or anything like that but i can help see the two point and stick them together with this.
also im not even suggesting this is a simple plan that can be done in 20 mins or no one has ever thought of this. i know enough to know we still have very little knowledge on the genetic structure. But for what i have been reading a lot of effort has been spent trying to increase out life span and there are multiple ways of doing it.
For now though i can only see the ironic part about Cancer being a disease that kills us could possibly be the same key to a longer life.
