Medicalization of Life Process:Aging Becomes a"Disease"
With the generalized trend of medicalization of the life process,every stage of a person's life,from birth to childhood,adolescence,adulthood,and ultimately aging and death,is influenced and intervened by medicine.Factors such as the expansion of medical boundaries,the influence of modern medicine,the evolution of diagnosis and treatment concept and the close relationship between aging and death have led to aging being labeled as a disease,blurring the distinction between aging and age-related diseases,and expanding medical interventions.Aging has thus become an event with medical significance.Research and practice focused on anti-aging in human society have never ceased.With the development of science and technology,the desire for anti-aging has been responded by science.Science has become the knowledge system to explain the world,and technology has become the practical solution to reshape the world,leading to the medicalization and industrialization of anti-aging.
