I want the UK to classify aging as a disease
I want the Government or Parliament to classify aging as a disease to enable treatments, clinical trials, funding and innovation.
I urge the Government or Parliament to classify aging as a disease, as it contributes to chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and dementia. Recognizing aging as a disease would shift focus to preventative healthcare and promote treatments targeting aging, not just its symptoms.
This change would enable funded clinical trials to develop therapies to slow, halt, or reverse aging. Doctors could prescribe these treatments, improving health, and extending lifespan.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Government and Parliament do not have a classified list of diseases. If you'd like health policy to treat aging differently, you could start a petition about that. Your petition would need to have a clear ask for Government or Parliament.
