Old age - what does it mean physiologically? What are the basic difference between a 70 year and 20 year old body? If organs and blood is replaced to the old one, would he still remain old?

From the very birth, it is considered that a man must live about 100-130 years. But because we are not "saint" and can't control our tastes and prefferences, we damage our organism very fast and die at 70!

certain Northern populations have a tradition to send a man (when he gets old) on an iceberg die in the ocean. They give him no food, water, fire.

It's a good thing we live in the 21st century and many problems of aging can be hidden. I am talking about the appearance. We can hide our age by making plastic surgeries. In the future they will be much safer than ever.

Ageing is the natural law of life, and we should be prepared for this matter...

It's nothing to be afraid of getting old, when you knew the ways to deal with it

I don't wanna get old, and I'm afraid to get old. Thereby, I will do everything for prolonging my young age!

I know the fear, Peter but the more your afraid of it, the more you'll getting trapped with this problem...

It's to be wise to accept it and just let it be.

yes I know, the things we are afraid of, only make the fear stronger...

Why are they doing this?

well it's because it's a tradition. It can not be taken as a crime because the old agree to do that. We are speaking of some rare cases, it doesn't refer to the most of the old there.

I'm happy there no such traditions in my country.

I have another view of point of this ageing matter, as I found the ageing person is as cute as the baby as well...

what do you mean by that Wilson?

Old age is just the appearances, a man at 20 years may know such information that an old one have no idea, it may be more cute and smarter than the old man is. In this case we can say that that man who is just at 20, is older than that who has 70.
