    The way we age affects us all and our reactions to that process is varied on how we deal with it.. A young couple were given a unique chance to experience that by being aging over 60 years with incredibly life-like makeup and prosthetics.

    This gives a whole new meaning to growing old with the person you love has to be one of the most beautiful things in life

    Even if we could turn the aging clock back, that is creepy Joe. The reactions to the aging process in the 100 years video was different to what I expected. The man was far more accepting of his partners looks seeing her as still beautiful, whereas she showed distress at the loss of their looks.

    I realise that women in general do put store in how they look and men will often show they prefer good looks in a women, so I was pleasantly surprised at his responses

    I also hope she was compensated some how. I agree that clocks are designed to go forward!

    The aging video was fun. I do think people have the wrong concept of what a person should look like and act at a certain age. I am 70 I do not look or act like most people think a 70 year old person should look like. When you think that the average person today may live well past 100, 70 is not old. How people see aging needs to be redefinded. The insurance industry has increased their products to 120 yrs for maturity to include the increased life span.

    I felt myself IN it. Tears came. My emotions surged with deeper love for my husband and my children. I'm getting there... And I would like to spend my remaining years being happy, pursuing happiness for the people I love so much.
    Thanks for sharing this. :)

    I was always so concerned to look older than I really was that I may say not having enjoyed at all my youth years.

    Today that my aging process is ongoing, I feel happy for it because many people find me younger than I am really, but I don't longer care to look appealing for others, I love to look at me in the way aging is treating me without longing caring about how I will look tomorrow, but proud of it.

    I saw that video and what a beautiful thing it was.

    I too look younger than I am and have my issues with growing older as my body changes with its many aches and pains and my mind
    can't remember things but somehow I remember them later.

    Boy would I like to go back in time with what I know today. I think about that from time to time. I like being retired and I love the
    computer.
