 I tried to think of this entire "breaking down process" as a continuous circle. I feel that if everything is breaking down for a purpose, then these breakdowns, are part of a necessary force in order for life to function. When we think of something breaking down we instantly think of negative consequences. But the end of life or a cells function may be the balancing factor in influencing another process to occur. If such a delicate balance exists already, I wonder if science would negatively affect the world if it discovers a way to prolong the human life span?
