Anti-Aging
Abstract
The search for longevity is hardly new. Before recent times, advocates for longevity fell into two general time periods. From the 16th century to the 18th century, individuals worked to extend the lives and vitality of elderly people; they believed senescence was a time of considerable worth. From the 19th century through the early 20th century, however, anti-age advocates generally depicted old age as a time to be feared and despised, devising myriad procedures in order to eliminate it entirely. While sharing little with the advocates of the early modern period, the recent anti-age movement clearly mirrors many of the beliefs of the longevity advocates of a century ago. Both groups not only see old age as a disease to be eradicated through injections and operations, but also argue that the old constitute an enormous economic burden. These beliefs reveal that the new anti-age movement, like its early 20th century precursor, is based on more than simple hair dyes, hormones, or diet. Rather, their ideas and actions ultimately serve to marginalize the very process of growing old.

ACCORDING to anti-age advocates, the fountain of youth has finally been discovered. Rather than drinking from the mythical well, however, those who search for endless youth and vitality are urged to send in their $60 and receive the wonder formula of the “ingestible growth hormone.” Grow Young with HGH, the Amazing Medical Plan to Reverse Aging declares the title of Ronald Klatz and Carol Kahn's 1998 book (1). The human growth hormone, claims the book's advertisement, is a medically proven plan “to lose fat, gain muscle, enhance your sex life, decrease wrinkles, prevent disease, and reverse the aging process.” Once the hormone is consumed, the anti-age enthusiasts declare, age itself will no longer be an inevitable disease accompanied by disability and illness. Instead they promise, “new” and “revolutionary” advances that will “usher in a new modern age for humanity: the Ageless Society” (2, p. 3). The future of anti-aging medicine,” writes Ronald Klatz and Robert Goldman, “promises the elimination of the disability, deformity, pain, disease, suffering and sorrow of old age. In a few decades, the traditional enfeebled, ailing elderly person will be but a grotesque memory of a barbaric past …” (3, p. 13).
