Reply to comment by a4mula in Arguments against calling aging a disease make no sense relative to other natural processes we attempt to fix. by Desperate_Food7354
So your entire argument boils down to semantics. Okay.

I've never claimed otherwise. But it's important because this is the framework that will set the perspective.
Again, learn from the mistakes of people much smarter than you or I.
Right now, today, this very moment. Some asshole is throwing his life away searching for a way to cure plaques in the brain because of it.

You have zero legs to stand on. Your argument is pointless. And you have zero idea what you are talking about.

I have two legs. I can see them at least. Move them around. They come in quite handy.
I'm not making an argument. I am pointing out facts.
Aging is not a disease. It's a natural biological process.
You do not cure aging, it's not a disease.
You can attempt to find the mechanisms that cause our bodies to become less functional over time. You can call those diseases if you'd like. Though that's still a misnomer.
You can then attempt to treat those mechanisms in a way that they no longer produce the unwanted effects.
Every single thing I've stated is factual.
If you'd like to argue them. Feel free. Until that time, how about you take a giant pill of, wake the fuck up and learn what the words you use mean.
