We are less concerned with what aging is, and more concerned with how we can slow the process. However, here is a brief overview of aging.
We now know that part of the reason we age is because our genes are preprogrammed in such a way that prohibits our cells from regenerating indefinitely. That is, there is a mechanism in our cells which sets a limit on how many times they can divide and regenerate new cells. Due to evolutionary factors, we are literally programmed by our genetic structure to die.
Fortunately, scientists are beginning to understand this process, and it is becoming quite clear that we will be able to eliminate this roadblock to immortality within the next 20 years or so.
Even if our cells were not preprogrammed to die, they would eventually wear out and die. This is because [...]
