Quote by: Night  How? I've been wondering lately, why is it in our genes to get older, and die? Why don't our cells work at full capacity their whole lives, instead of killing themselves intentionally? |
Very recent news was that Scientists have identified few genes in human genes set, which are responsible for developing life threatening diseases causing the death. I wonder, if only those few genes are resposible for death (natural one). By gene modification technique if those genes could be removed at the time of Zygote formation or later at infancy, death could be largly conqoured. Still, accidental deaths would continue to occur !!!
Second cause is the aging egffect of cells, which is a natural phenomina, as pointed out by Technosoul. Detail of aging mechanism could be studied from literature. But then, it is natural to age...why to bother ???
