Will it be possible to slow aging scientifically in the near future?
What is gene therapy and how does it relate to slowing aging?
Gene therapy involves altering the DNA of an individual in order to treat or prevent a disease. Scientists are currently exploring whether it might be possible to use gene therapy to slow down the aging process or prevent age-related illnesses such as cancer or Alzheimer's disease. However, this is still very much an area of ongoing research.
