Is old age a disease? Is it communicable?

To clarify, I am talking about corporeal life as we know it to be. Carbon based.

Life and love are sexually transmitted. Even after the life is gone, the love continues

Definitely true.
Death is a fate none of us can avoid. Heaven, hell and the afterlife are open to debate. The fact of death is not. So religion is irrelevant.
Old age is not a disease in the sense that you can contract it from an elderly person, but it is a disease in the sense that it is a misfortune that plagues most of us at some point of life. And yes, it's communicable, from foolish mother and father to equally foolish daughter and son.
To Robin Runeslinger: My dear, he's being sarcastic. In sarcasm, "logical fallacies" count for nothing.

I'd call life a sexually transmitted pleasure, personally. But yes, physical life is fatal, the reason being that we are all sinners. Or, as British poet W H Auden put it, 'All sin tends to be addictive, and the terminal point of addiction is what is called damnation.'
Yet spiritual life is something gifted by God whilst believers are physically alive, and it goes on forever. The Christian apostle John said, 'We know that we have passed from death to life' so physical death is instantly changed into spiritual life. That's why Christians do not fear death or mourn as those who have no hope.

Life is a gift from God and not a disease! Old age is not a disease! You can't catch old age that comes from living right and not living recklessly!But yes it is true that life is fatal.

The question is not properly formed, creating a logical fallacy, known as petitio principii. Life is not a disease, because a disease is a disorder that upsets the normal life function. Without life disease would not have a meaning. No the answer is no.

You are a young man at 60. My son's age. Then I have a daughter who is 59 and another son who is 57. You can stay healthy for many years to come. This body will die and fade away true, but there is a better life waiting for us in Heaven.

No, life is not a disease! Although it is always fatal? I am 80 and I don't think of myself as old yet.

Personally I love life. I know several persons of advanced age that are very sharp! I know a lady who in 92 and she is very smart, walks without a can or walker. I know another who will soon be 93 and this lady jogs! Life is what you make it. With God in your life you can have an abundant life.
