Alder

Suresh Rattan

1955. Det er det tal, Suresh Rattan kan lAese pa sin fodselsattest. I den alder banker forfaldet pa hos enhver, men han foler sig ikke sa gammel. Faktisk har han det som en tyve ar yngre varhare, og han ved godt hvorfor, men han er jo ogsa aldersforsker ved Aarhus Universitet. Takket vAere evolutionen kan vi ikke forestille os selv Aeldre end 45, og biologisk set burde vi bare opgive anden, nar vi har opdraget et par tro kopier af os selv. Til alle os, der gerne vil leve lidt lAengere, har Suresh opfundet formlen for evigt liv. Lad os habe, den virker.

Age

Suresh Rattan

Suresh Rattan's birth certificate reads «1955». At his age, signs of decline inevitably creep in, but Suresh doesn't feel that old. In fact, he feels twenty years younger. He can even explain why. No wonder: He does research on age and ageing at Aarhus University. Thanks to evolution, we can't imagine ourselves any older than 45. Biologically, we should just give up the ghost once we've raised a few carbon copies of ourselves. But for those of us who want to stick around a little longer, Suresh has devised a formula for eternal life. Let's hope it works.
