I hope you keep these horrible thoughts to yourself if you ever walk through a paediatric hospital


What does a pediatric hospital have to do with aging...?


The point is that the kind of horrendous diseases you see affecting babies are also, many of them, natural parts of the human experience, just as much as aging. And yet we all like the fact that pediatric hospitals exist to cure these natural diseases.


Thinking that aging is a natural part of the human experience is a horrible thought? Please explain...


Childhood deaths and fatal diseases are also natural parts but that doesn't make them desirable to everyday humans. But with new advances, people might have the ability to CHOOSE in future.
