Aging is the price of breathing; oxygen is a slow-acting poison that causes our cells to oxidize. In essence, we rust. Therefore, aging is more of a symptom.

Aging is not actually a disease, but death can be considered one. Immortality may not be feesable or even considered remotely possible these days, but hypothetically think if it were. IF and only IF immortality were possible would death then be considered a disease. Right now death is something that will eventually happen to everyone, but when medicine becomes more advanced and every single thing is curable, then death will be a disease. To me that's what death is, a disease, the mani contributor of the disease is time.

Aging is not a disease but is a natural process that everyone and most everything goes through. For example, hardly anyone would call a newborn baby who reaches 1yr old to be experiencing a disease if a medical exam reveals he's perfectly healthy - he just naturally developed as supposed too.

Let's face it, as long as pharmaceutical companies can call aging a disease, they can sell the "cure" and make a profit.

If you accept that ageing is natural -- than it is a disease. If you defy aging and its consequences -- than it is not a disease. You may also be blessed with eternal youth
