Help answer this question below.

If ageing is the slow death and non regeneration of cells and (I assume) the brain controls this process.....can we not reprogramme our mind to continue cellular regeneration indefinately and never grow old or die?

    The best you could ever hope it to teach people to eat better and take better care of themselves, but other than that we're stuck plus I do NOT want to live forever. I look forward to getting off this rock somehow. Death is the only solution I'm aware of and space is out because the body degenerates even faster in space.

    Even though the cells can regenerate over an over, replication errors do occur which accumulate over time.

    from evolutionary point, it would be irresponsible, old die to save resources for the young to grow.

    It is not controlled buy the brain but the brain is subject to it, therefore the body is not capable of reversing the process. We are stck with it. We may be able to slow down the process but never will we stop it!
