During the normal human aging process a steady decline of hormone levels occur. These declines result in changes in the body's ability to function "normally" and, over all, contribute to what is generally accepted as the symptoms of old age.
Is it possible, or even desirable, to medically alter this process by attempting to restore the body's hormones to levels which are normally present in mid-life? The answer to this question can have profound effects on individual lifestyles as well as on society as a whole.
Without hormone replacement therapy the human body and mind spiral downward, beginning in mid-life, ultimately resulting in death. This process is caused by a decline in the body's ability to produce and maintain the energy required to sustain life. These declines are mostly triggered by reduced production of many hormones including human growth hormone (HGH).
Recent advances in HGH replacement therapy could possibly result in profound anti-aging effects as we learn more about how this hormone stimulates the body's anabolic processes. Injections of recombinant growth hormone and/or IGF-1 preparations have been shown to restore the body's metabolism.
Studies have shown that injections of relatively small amounts of HGH can trigger the body's natural production of hormones and, in some patients, actually restore hormone levels to mid-life levels.
Some studies claim that patented synthetic growth hormone compounds, such as Alcarnor™, a patented oral composition, also stimulates physiological secretions.
Because the body's condition at old age is essentially caused by a number of deficiencies which ultimately prevent the body from being able to maintain its youthful condition, cells, tissues and organs are no longer able to maintain or repair themselves. It is possible that hormone replacement therapy can reverse these conditions considerably.
Hormone replacement therapy, particularly HGH therapy, has been show to reverse the exact conditions which become prevalent in old age. These conditions include decline in muscle and fatty tissue, bone weakness, loss of mental facilities, and skin dryness and thinning.
All of these symptoms are, to some extent, related to the functioning of the body's endocrine systems which are the exact systems that are affected by hormone replacement therapy.
What are the potential social, economic and personal implications of retarding, or possibly even preventing, the mental and physical failures that old age brings upon the body? How would increased longevity affect Social Security? How will food and housing shortages be excaberated by an extended lifetime?
Will our society be able to even cope with the issues that will come about due to an increase in the elderly population? It isn't hard to imagine the spending impact that this situation will have on the governments of the world. The young workers of the world will increasingly see more and more of their taxes being diverted towards supporting the needs of an increasing elderly population. Will resentment mount as the young are forced to support the old in greater and greater numbers? Just the costs of extended health care and pension benefits could amount to trillions of additional tax dollars.
It's not just an issue of where the money will come from to support extended life spans. What will these people eat? Where will they live? WIll they drive vehicles on already overcrowded roadways? Will already population over-burdened countries like China be able to survive? Will wars be started simply to gain additional living space? How will prison systems cope? Will society lower death penalty standards in a thinly-guised attempt to reduce overcrowding?
It is easy to overlook the social implications of anti-aging when you are focused on achieving medial breakthroughs. But, we have to ask ourselves, is it wise?
