Ageing switch…

Scientists  have found  an ageing switch in worms.   Turns out we humans have the same genetic switch.   Basically,  cells in worms start to deteriorate when reproductive maturity is reached,  and the theory is that it works the same way for homo sapiens.

That seems logical to me, but I think we are still quite a long way from eternal youthfulness.   That should give us sufficient time to decide whether it’s something to be desired,  isn’t it?
