Reply to comment by AndromedaAnimated in Arguments against calling aging a disease make no sense relative to other natural processes we attempt to fix. by Desperate_Food7354
Those people are forgetting that our brain naturally forgets things. So a million years from now you can re-watch a show you already saw and still be entertained. Hell, a million years from now you could date the same man/woman and you'll both have completely forgotten and think you're dating for the first time.
We could augment our brain so it doesn't forget as much but that would be a choice, and for those who don't want to get bored, forgetting is wonderous.
On the other point, it doesn't matter what your friends think, the world health organization and other organizations who's opinions allow anti-aging funding, have classified aging as a disease.

Thank you! Yes, forgetting is important for us even to learn properly! Very good argument.
