"In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is immortality." Proverbs 12:28

A series is currently airing here in Australia called "How to Make A Human", which covers a lot of different topics. This weeks episode will be about aging, and how to stop the clock.
I've always been interested in immortality, and would love to give myself eternal life. I don't know a lot about it, but from what I've been told, aging is caused by mistakes made while your cells reproduce. Cells must constantly replace themselves, but there are often mistakes made, causing the new cells to be faulty - that's why people age. Things like UV rays from the sun and other forms of radiation can accelerate aging. When the DNA in the cells has been worn down to such an extent, vital parts of your body can simply stop working.
If we could ensure each cell replaces itself with 100% accuracy, the body wouldn't age!
