When your body breaks apart at 80 years old, that does not make you unhealthy, you are just old.

Or we could get our shit together and classify aging as a treatable disease and spend an adequate amount of research dollars on finding a cure.

Good idea. Until we have said cure lets not pretend that you can fix ageing by visiting the doctor twice every week, effectively offloading needed social interaction to them.

Edit: This view might be radical on HN, but while I do believe that we can fix ageing and that eventually someone will, I am not quite sure if we really should.
