The Unavoidable Obstacle, Death
Many people enjoy the life of up to 80 among the 60% of people who were surveyed. Many people do not wish to live a life longer than 80-85. Many people also like to have a healthy body until they die and not have any hardships during their last few years or have to suffer. Many people ask the same question every day, “Should we live forever or cut it short?” This essay, is to prove to all those young, creative, curious thinkers, that we should not let scientists help people beat old age. That is why I believe that we should not let scientists try to beat old age due to a limited amount of space, resources, and as we age the cells cannot keep up and lag behind.

For instance, scientists who study our cells stated, “Impossible to halt aging in multicellular organisms like humans” (University). Our cells cannot cope with us aging and therefore lose the power to work. We cannot live if our cells die and we will be in suffering. Also, scientists found a catch 22 in our bodies and explained it as, “So you’re stuck between allowing these sluggish cells to accumulate or allowing cancer cells to proliferate, and if you do one you can’t do the other. You can’t do both at the same time” (University). You are essentially stuck between two horrible alternations that will happen to you once you start to age. However, you cannot eliminate both or do both at the same time. If you eliminate one the other comes and vice a versa. Furthermore, the scientist explains, “In the end, things just break over time… trying to fix them can only make things worse” (University). Many people believe that it is best to leave things as they are in the long run and not mess anything up. Due to this many people just want to live a maximum life while still being healthy for 99.9% of it. However, many researchers say that they have the cure to old age by explaining, “Genetic ‘switch’ could extend the lives of flies by 60%, and- want to try a similar technique on humans” (Waugh). These researchers have no idea if the flies and the humans have the same reaction to the
