摘要
随着生命过程医学化的泛化趋势,一个人生命的每个阶段,从出生到童年、青年、成年,直至衰老和死亡,都受到了医学的影响和干预.医学边界的扩张、现代医学的影响、诊疗观的嬗变和衰老与死亡的密切关系等因素使衰老成为疾病,将衰老与老年病混同起来扩大医疗干预,衰老变为了具有医学意义的事件.人类社会以抗衰老为主题的研究与实践从未停止,随着科学技术的发展,抗衰老的愿望得到了科学的回应,科学成为解释世界的知识体系,技术成为改造世界的实践方案,进而产生了抗衰老的医学化和产业化.
Abstract
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.
