Why do we die?
Playing text to speech
People have always tried to get to the bottom of the mystery of death, and this started with the emergence of humanity. Though death is the end or so it may really be seeming to be the popular opinion that people are in a constant quest to know what happens after death. Do people end up to somewhere similar to heaven or hell? or it should be entirely mythical with some scientific proof behind that. Is there anything on the same lines as ‘rebirth’ of human or 7 lives or is it all manmade?
Though, the medical and technology advances which in turn can theoretically increase average lifespan twice may be important, we need to accept that death is something inevitable in our lives. Of course, this argument culminates in the main question: what does death mean, what leads us straight to death, and why? It will go into both biological as well as the philosophical aspects about aging and death.
The Biological Perspective
As is birth, so is death. Although it is true that devices of life and death are part of life, mortality is often a source of fear and uncertainty. In a biological sense, aging is a phenomenon which results in the whole body’s whole system falling apart at the levels of cells and molecules.
What is Aging?
Fading may be regarded as a phenomenon through which several changes office simultaneously and brings about in uncommon kind cell as well tissue injuries. Venkatamurthy (Venki) Ramakrishnan, the Nobel Prize winning molecular biologist tag-along indicate the aging begins when we were still in our mothers' wombs and not even when we saw the light as of yet of the world.
The cellular and tissue damage come not only from the environmental factors like harmful environment and the bad habits people have like eating late, excessive drinking, etc. but the natural wear and tear during growth is included too. The most obvious sign of age in the body is the damage that is part of the mechanism in all our bodies to repair themselves. Yet such mechanisms are not anymore as productive as they used to be when we are still young, given the aging process.
The Role of Genetics
Genetics work along with the genes which are known as proteins that start aging process and affect the years of life. Lifestyle and environmental factors undoubtedly play a strong role, but only 25% of the choice of how long we can live is defined by our genes.
Experimental data obtained from animals such as worms have been found to be capable of enhancing the lifespan of an individual when specific genes are changed. Therefore, it implies that genetic manipulation may as well be exploited so that may be possible to extend human lifespan.
Societal and Ethical Considerations
As the factor of longevity increases, humans are bound to pose incredibly challenging questions, i.e. moral dilemmas and societal problems. To the extent we succeed in creating a way to make the human lifespan significantly longer, they may wind up problems such as population increase, resource dependence, and general lifestyle. These questions are the cornerstones of the life extension techniques being developed and utilized for the future.
The Philosophical Angle
For in philosophy, death is an omnipresent topic on the agenda too. It makes us at a test to present our views on it and the concept of how we should live to preserve the good life.
Sadhguru, a modern mystic as well as a yoga guru, outlines the concept of life and death as a spiritual concept which occurs when life energies become too weak to keep the body going. He underlines the vital role that individuals still have to play; it doesn’t matter how long one lives if the quality is bad and life becomes merely difficult to live.
The Path of Living and The Doorway to Death
Practical advice for living longer, healthier life often comes down to simple, time-tested wisdom: allow for vital activities such as eating healthily, doing regular exercises, managing stress levels and having the right sleeping pattern. These approach accounts for the vitality of all our cells and tissues oscillating, it has the potential of being a part of the process that slows ageing.
The diverse narratives about what happens after one departs is reflected in the cultural and religious beliefs. Some adherents to the afterlife notion are convinced that the vital energy of people for a to the other or becomes part of the universe. This idea that there is something else beyond physical death brings consolation to many, and it strongly implies that death might not be an end but a transformation, suggesting that death might lead to something else.
Conclusion
For all scientific discoveries that are to cast light on aging and the difference between life and death, we still have a lot to comprehend. The quest for immortality can be achieved either through the use of biological or technological ways, which is complex from the ethical and philosophic point of view. In the end, the way we try to supersede it and to manage death reveals deep-down concerns, hopes, and our interests.
Simply put, the process of learning more about death and its meaning is not how best to avoid it or delay its occurrence but how to live a good life. It is somewhere about savoring every moment of that precious life entrusted to us, about fully living each day and being OK with the idea that death is part of the natural processes. This holistic approach leads to our having a more significant and fuller life that will count, whether our lifespan will be 20 years or 90 years.
