According to a recent study, this reality won’t change anytime soon: whether through cancer or the breakdown of regular cells, aging and death are mathematically inevitable. Therefore, aging and death are bound to occur, regardless of how we might try to interfere with the aging process. Researchers at the University of Arizona have now demonstrated that it is mathematically impossible to stop aging in multicellular organisms, which includes all humans. First, cells slow down and begin to lose their functionality, such as when your hair cells stop producing pigment. In other words, if you eliminate your weakening cells, then you allow cancer cells to proliferate.
