Wrerg Dhenbrand*

The quest for immortality has been a subject of human fascination since ancient times. While achieving immortality remains elusive, researchers have made significant strides in understanding the aging process and the factors that contribute to longevity. One area of exploration that has gained considerable attention is the role of genetics in determining lifespan. This article aims to delve into the fascinating world of longevity and genetics, shedding light on the current state of research and the potential implications for human health and lifespan extension. Aging is a natural and inevitable process that affects all living organisms. Over time, our bodies undergo a series of physiological changes that ultimately lead to a decline in function and increased vulnerability to disease. While the precise mechanisms underlying aging are complex and multifaceted, several theories have emerged to explain this phenomenon.
