Hey Dr Gems, I don't think that by reducing aging ALL the illnesses mentions will be reduced... as time progresses, even though we may be able to age slower, other genes that are responsible for illnesses will still change over time? JZ

@ChineseMandarinTutor, The illnesses mentioned in the video are usually age-related, therefore, by slowing down ageing, the onset of such diseases will too be slowed down, this is why cancer and cardiovascular disease are more common in elderly people. This is not to say that such diseases will deplete all-together, random mutations of course will still cause such diseases to penetrate but as Gems has suggested, the chances of getting these diseases as a cause of ageing will hence decrease.

How strangely captivating that the worms emit blue light near death - great film
