The prospect of extending the life - real scientific fact !

in #science8 years ago

 All known species in the planet earth, characterized by the processes of aging and death. The so-called "life-cycle" for millions of years, has been a fundamental rule of life of all life, in all forms known to modern science. Old age, death-these words have always been a heavy burden on the human race. Heavy burden on the shoulders of the creators, scientists, bakers, drivers, teachers ... Many times though, wondered about the meaning of life, of which the end is inevitable, but by the standards of life of the universe is negligible. Everyone in one way or another, in one way or another experienced the fear of coming late, feeling completely powerless in confronting the powerful law of life. But let's look at the past. The average life span of prehistoric man ranged from 25-35 years, as evidenced by the analysis of bones found. Conditions of human life gradually improved, and knowledge about the world and its laws significantly expanded. For example, in Japan today, the average life of the order of 83 years. And here is a man appeared at perhaps the most difficult problem of our time, is it possible to overcome old age and death. The Company has never been consensus on this issue, scientists, religious leaders, people of different social groups will always have different attitudes to this subject, but the fact remains, every rational animal tries and will always try to maximize the life of its existence. Here is an evidence of self-preservation instinct, known, perhaps, to everyone. So, the modern science with medicine can offer us? The basic science dealing with the study of the biological and social aspects of aging is Gerontology. Authoritative Russian-gerontologist Alex Moskalev, he believes that in the near future, life expectancy will be about 120 years old. One of the new areas of gerontology is gene therapy. The level of modern techniques allows you to "improve" some genes: experiments conducted on laboratory animals have shown that using gene therapy can increase their life expectancy by about 30%. However, such experiments on humans is not allowed. In modern medicine it is possible to slow down the aging process by using substances - geroprotektorov. Besides it, the active development of Transplantation and cultivation of artificial skin for transplants in the laboratory, as well as being a series of experiments on mice organoid gives confidence in the possibility of a significant emergency extension of biological life. P.S: In 15th century the average person would have seemed absurd idea of ​​the possibility of creating an airplane, space station, the internal combustion engine and a mobile phone. All that then seemed unimaginable and unattainable is now a reality. Think about it long and happy life to you.
