Not an illness? So cancer, dementia and Alzheimers are not illnesses but I guess some beautiful song for you?

The diseases listed are age related diseases, and the person I respond to is glorifying death.

Some people just do not take 5 minutes to think before they post what's largely a "live laugh love" post, as a response against horrible sufferings.

You can do better.

Aging doesn't necessitate illness.

So miss me hard with your first paragraph.

They're certainly associated(related) with age but they're not causally related.

So do better? You're obviously hurting. It's okay to self care.

Well that's what scientists argue about, is aging a disease? No one thought so 20 years ago, today more and more do.

And age related diseases are, diseases created by another disease, aging. Or so I think. So very causually related indeed. IMO!

Cure aging, cure Alzheimers, dementia and (most of) cancer.

Sorry if I came off in an un-nice manner, I'm home sick, apologies.
