Old age is not natural.

It just doesn't happen in the wild where the lifestyle is healthy and every animal is physically fit and active.

We, on the other hand, propped up by modern medicine, live way past our sell-by dates like shriveled brown leaves clinging to branches of trees in the harshness of winter.

It's not natural.

@BigImo The ability to speak is facilitated by language through the use of words. How does this ability arise? If a newborn child was raised in a laboratory without words, it would still be able to "speak" to communicate with its "dumb" caretakers through sign language. Signs are symbols associated with things. Therefore, the ability to perceive things is necessary for development of the ability to speak. Both abilities are coincident. They arise together. Am I right?

Wow, thanks for this post. It made my day.
