I want the UK to classify aging as a disease
Background
I want the Government or Parliament to classify aging as a disease to enable treatments, clinical trials, funding and innovation.
Additional details
I urge the Government or Parliament to classify aging as a disease, as it contributes to chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and dementia. Recognizing aging as a disease would shift focus to preventative healthcare and promote treatments targeting aging, not just its symptoms. This change would enable funded clinical trials to develop therapies to slow, halt, or reverse aging. Doctors could prescribe these treatments, improving health, and extending lifespan.
