Scenarios about 'aging research'
The scientific study of biological aging processes and potential interventions to extend healthy lifespan. Aging research encompasses investigations into cellular senescence, genetic factors, and biochemical pathways that contribute to age-related decline, as well as development of therapies that might slow, halt, or reverse aspects of aging. In alternate history scenarios, different trajectories of aging research could profoundly impact demographics, economics, and social structures through altered human longevity.
