长命百岁是我们所有人的良好愿望。所不同的是,过去要实现这一愿望极其渺茫,现在则比较容易了。纵观人类寿命的历史、科学,尤其是医学会给我们一些什么样的承诺呢?要回答这个问题并不容易,因为寿命并非只涉及医疗保健,而且事关我们的生活方式和思维方式。 Longevity is a good wish for all of us. The difference is that in the past to achieve this desire is extremely slim, it is now easier. Looking back at the history of human life, what kind of promise have we given from science, especially medicine? It is not easy to answer this question because life expectancy is not about health care alone, but also about our way of life and our way of thinking.
