The generation of baby boomers is probably the only generation that has readily used every possible resource known to mankind to defeat the challenges of the aging process.
The most passionate, deep-seated and persistent desire of man, to put the aging process to a stop, is as ancient as time.
There is plenty of evidence of this fact from literature itself.
Right from Peter Pan to The Fountain to Youth, we see several instances where characters have just put their foot down when it comes to growing old, as if refusing to take part will stop the aging process! The baby boomer has always had a deep sense of love towards youth.
This is undoubtedly a deep-rooted desire as this generation was virtually the centre of the world as youth dominated the globe in the 60s and 70s.
Such an experience will make such a lasting impression on you, that your generation is the one that can never grown old.
Obviously, like every other generation, the baby boomers have also grown old.
But their eagerness and enthusiasm to stay active and youthful has resulted in the emergence of diet and fitness industries.
They believe that if they can't stop the process of aging, they might as well try to LOOK and act young.
Anti aging pills were never developed by the medical experts, but the field of medical science has had several breakthroughs in various areas of research.
The baby boomers are, however, ready to fund any research that would eradicate aging, or at least slow down its rigorous onset.
Unfortunately for them, science has found no remedy to stop or reverse the effects of aging.
Suppose aging could be halted to some level physically, one must ponder over its practicality, considering the fact that aging affects the entire person as a whole.
Aging does not affect the body alone, but it has immense effects on our maturity level, attitudes, ambitions and aims in life.
It is a part of the cycle of life, ranging from youth, through middle age, up to retirement and old age.
Many people ask themselves whether they would actually use a scientific remedy to stop aging, if it was found.
Humans tend to follow their intuition, and believe that they have a time to live and then pass the torch to the forthcoming generation.
Your age defines you position in the life cycle.
If you are middle aged, it's appropriate to be a parent.
At your 70s and 80s, you are expected to be a spectacled grandparent.
How we behave in society, our priorities and our expectations from others are based on our age, which is inter-related to the process of aging.
If by chance, the process of aging could be brought to an end, the entire circle of life would have to be re-determined.
If you were to live for 200 years instead of the normal 80 or 90, think about how you could possibly plan your career, family and finances.
Fortunately, perhaps, the process of aging has not been defeated.
While baby boomers strive hard to stop aging, they are highly capable of becoming senior citizens who can give back a lot to the society.
Just like in the past, baby boomers will continue to have a tremendous impact on the world, when they learn to accept that aging is a part of the human life cycle and will certainly be an excellent generation of grandparents.
