Age Reversal Unity, following its recent petition advocating for the recognition of immortality as a fundamental human right, has now launched its second major initiative. This new petition calls on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to declare aging a public health emergency. According to the organization, the aging population in the United States demands an urgent national response, incorporating innovative research, preventive measures, and targeted therapies to address aging and its associated diseases.
Key Points of the Petition:
- Declare Aging a Public Health Emergency:
Recognize the biological process of aging as a critical public health issue with profound effects on society, the economy, and individual well-being. Prioritize it as a national healthcare concern. - Allocate Funding for Aging Research and Interventions:
Increase investments in the development and clinical application of therapies designed to slow, halt, or reverse age-related changes, including regenerative medicine, cellular reprogramming, and gene therapies. - Establish Regulatory Pathways for Anti-Aging Interventions:
Collaborate with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to streamline the approval process for therapies targeting aging and its related diseases. Provide clear regulatory frameworks to ensure the safe and efficient introduction of promising treatments to the market. - Launch a National Awareness Campaign on Aging and Longevity:
Educate the public about advancements in aging-related health science, the potential of proactive interventions, and the importance of preventive care for the elderly. Equip healthcare professionals with training resources on the latest discoveries in aging biology.
Age Reversal Unity emphasizes that aging is intricately linked to chronic diseases that disproportionately affect older populations. These issues result in diminished quality of life, escalating healthcare costs, and premature mortality. The petition’s authors believe that declaring aging a public health emergency will direct national attention to these challenges and mobilize the resources needed to accelerate breakthroughs in treatments and preventive strategies.
