Depends on how you define dying. IRCC there is a point in age in which your body’s growth stops, your cell replacement/production slows down, and you are losing more cells than you are gaining them. At this point, I would say you start dying.

This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.

Remember, /r/Showerthoughts is for showerthoughts, not "thoughts had in the shower!"

(For an explanation of what a "showerthought" is, please read this page.)

Technically you start dying after 25 when your brain is fully developed...
