Do we not understand enough about the human body? I have heard that we don’t fully understand the mechanism behind aging and this got me wondering. I mean our body seems to be like one of the first things we’d investigate, and yet we seem to know less than I had originally thought.

One thing I have learned as I’ve gotten older, and been through helping my mother fight cancer, dealt with my own smaller health issues etc etc. Is that TV has done a good job of convincing us that we know a ton about the human body. Greys Anatomy, House, all the “breakthroughs” you see on the news made me naively feel like we can fix anything and really had it figured out. But spend a little time around an actual hospital and you’ll realize that those shows are about as real as startrek, and we actually know basically nothing in the grand scheme of things.
The human body is ALLOT more complicated than I grew up believing.
