Is Ageing A Sign That Death May Not Be The Last Bus Stop For Human Beings? by dabigwalls: 4:55pm On Nov 01, 2012 |
Is there a reason why we age? I am thinking that for humans, advancing in age may be suggestion that human beings have a life and purpose hereafter. It is based on my observations that I ask the question why do we not remain as babies? Why do we grow from childhood and what is the reason for the transitions that the human body undergoes? Where there was once no hair would have hair and then not have hair again. We grow wrinkles on what were velvety silk skins and bodies. Do we agree that it is possible that death can be the end of human existence? I am trying to avoid a religious bent to my queries but will it not be a very shaky assumption to imagine that it all ends in death? If it did not end in infancy, and did not end in puberty, and did not end in adulthood, can death be the end? Death may just be one stage of even a longer chain that we do not know for possibly limitations of our current stage in the same ways a 5 year old may be unable to lead a war. 1 Like |

@topic, death is a transition into another life just as adolescent is a transition into adulthood. As for ageing, i don't think humans are designed to age ab initio, i said this because scientifically, d cells of d human body's been proved to regenerate every 5 to 6 years. This accounts for disappearance or diminishing of scars after some years. D body has an inherent ability to reproduce new cells so long as one eats protein. |

Hmmm. So the body loses the ability to produce or regenerate cells at some point? Why does the cycle end?Could there be a reason, or it is preparation for some continuity we are oblivious of. Thanks though. |

No, d body never looses d ability toreproduce new cells. I'm yet to understand y we age? I'm as curious as you in this matter. Peradventure this thread makes it to d front page, someone might quash this curiousity of ours. In d meantime, maybe ageing is a prelude to death but how about those dt die without ageing? I believe there's a common factor between ageing and death. Nonetheless i'm not afraid of both! 1 Like |

You are so right. There is more confusion when death occurs naturally to persons at earlier stages of the ageing process. Neither am I afraid of both. |

ageing is part of the natural cycle of life. i do not know why humans always try to alter natural cycles. we are strangers here. we come to learn, grow and when it is time to leave, we leave and go back to the source where we came from. this natural cycle is actually supposed to be embraced and welcomed but because man has lost his way and is filled with fear of what happens after, nobody wants to age talk less of dying. 2 Likes |

the knowledge is there for those who are interested. but you must be ready to make the journey within to access the knowledge 2 Likes |

mkmyers45: You question was st.upid in relation to my commentno, i don't think dt was a stupiddd question. Not at all, cos i meant to ask same, how long is a life span dt is increased by 100 percent? Again, is increase in life span related to ageing? I asked d second cos i'd seen some pple in their late twenties looking thirties and also d opposite. By the way, how's ageing a disease? I need to know |

I need to knowThe general average lifespan of a normal mouse is 1.5 to 2 years. As of 2009, the record holder is a mouse whose growth hormone receptor had been genetically knocked out; it lived for 1819 days (almost 5 years). Now with countinued research a mouse can live into its 30's and still posses brain capabilities of a young mouse. Now imagine a 150yr old having the capacity to work matching a 25 year old? Its all rejuvenative medicine |

We are here to complete Biological cycle. If you father had not met ur mother, you wouldn't have been here. Don't make mystery out of something that is clear. Or do you think animals too have continuity after life? Cause they do age! |
Re: Is Ageing A Sign That Death May Not Be The Last Bus Stop For Human Beings? by Nobody: 9:52pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
dada01: Actually yes, animals DO have continuity after life, according to those who have accessed those realms. They have their separate place in the 'spirit' world. |
