    Course Unit #14

    Mrs. Lee 75 years-old, looks tiny, shows wrinkles, dry skin, weight 72 kilos, slow in
    walking and movement, with difficulty talking to her daughter due to some problem in
    hearing. They live together with her daughter in a small apartment at the center town,
    Ms. Lee, an engineer. Mrs. Lee speaks no English. Ms. Lee maintains her professional
    dress and is used to giving directions and working with Americans. She works six days
    a week and is seldom home before 10 p.m. She attends church, but her mother does
    not join her. Mrs. Lee continues to wear her native dress and cook her native foods and
    continually chastises her daughter for not doing the same. While Ms. Lee works her
    mother cleans the apartment, cooks the meals and does all the laundry. There are no
    visitors to the apartment, and the two women do not take part in any local activities
    together. When Mrs. Lee must visit the doctor, her daughter takes time off from work.
    They also consult a native herbalist who prescribes teas, which Mrs. Lee prefers to her
    Western medications.

    The more time you spend thinking about aging, longevity science, and a future in which
    aging can be repaired, the further you move away from the mindset shared by most
    people in the world. Accepting that growing old and dying was just the way of things. It’s
    part of the very human tendency to see the world as it is, continuing forever: at some
    level we’re hardwired to reject all prospects for change as being somewhat ridiculous.
