> How are heart disease and cancer not natural?

The parent isn't claiming that; they are pointing out that heart disease and cancer are just as natural as aging. We spend a lot of effort to cure heart disease and cancer, so why not do the same with aging?

Because aging is not a disorder. No one expects heart disease or cancer. everyone expects to get older… regardless if you’d like this or not.
