I’ve always thought cancelling ageing must be possible. Our organisms can produce sex cells that are completely “young”, that is not affected by our body’s age. If you trace life through sex cells that after becoming mature organisms produce new sex cells, you get an uninterrupted chain of life aged billions of years. So we are already in a way immortal. There must be a way to force our body to produce “unaged” cells of all types, not just reproductive cells.

What if the reason you age is because your sex cells need to steal a little bit of immortality from all the other little guys? 🧐
This sounds like a good narrative for the child free movement 😂
