beautiful!
I don't know what I like the most about this: the poem, the people or Christopher Lee's fabulous voice. Amazing ad.
Congratulations on your fantastic work - celebrating age, respecting age and acknowledging age. Aged Care Channel (ACC) Australia.
Thank you! I ❤️ ❤️ this!
Beautiful!
Rock it while you got it.
There is no beauty is sickness, suffering, and death. No matter what philosophical justification.
Lovely and oh so true.
I agree. As a marketing professional I think this is genius. Beautifully put together and executed
Aging is most definitely not a disease. It is very confusing to me as to why people are comparing this natural way of life to actual diseases. That's like saying being born is a disease or approaching adulthood is a disease. We are born, we live, we die. In my opinion, the ad is touching on the subject of positive ageing and how to optimize well-being. Sure, a lot of diseases comes with ageing. But we acquire many other diseases even as children. Smallpox, measles, fever, type 1 diabetes, etc. Can we then say becoming a teenager or an adult is also a disease? Simply because we acquire diseases as human beings? I think the ad is trying to separate the idea of aging and the diseases that comes with it to prevent discrimination. Heck, its touching more or less on the topic ageism. People who create negative perceptions of old age contribute to ageism, stigmatising older people, like theres something wrong with them just because of their age. Sure, its great that science is doing everything they can to cure the diseases accumulated as we age, but the process of growing old is natural, we age, we cant be immortal, we all die. And therefore, we must promote positive ageing, such as being active like "taking up zumba" as the ad mentions. And older people can only engage with the society if they are welcomed and are not seen as "diseased". Because what about people ageing who dont have diseases? Who are independent and sociable, are they also diseased simply because they are approaching death like every single one of us are? To promote the well-being of these older people by creating a society that understands old age, encouraging generation integration and active/positive ageing is what I think the ad is trying to portray. Also "ageing is not a disease" is to prevent any stigmatisation and discrimination of older people as diseased individuals.
very good..beautiful.
Gorgeous and isnpiring
Beautiful
Lovely advert.
Unfortunately, we live in society that is obsessed with youth and that sadly see's no value in people once they start to advance in years, as some comments reflect. But just remember, the only real alternative to growing older is dying young! I know which I'd choose.
There seems to be a lot of people scared of growing older, and that's understandable; the unknown, or what you think you may know can be a scary place! But this is just how the Universe works, and will go on working long after we are all long gone. So yes; in my own personal opinion I would say that what Age U.K. say is correct. That ageing is not a disease, it's just part of life! For even the Star's in the Heaven's grow old and eventually die.
scotty3861 There are age-related diseases, but actually growing older isn't a disease! Are you saying the process of a child becoming a teenager is an ugly, diseased experience? We're all ageing from the second we're conceived, it isn't an illness, but a natural and inevitable part of life. As is death. Cancer, on the other hand, isn't natural or inevitable, because it's a disease. I think it's you that needs to do your research.
scotty3861 So, what, we're all gonna live indefinitely? From what age does this begin? Are there gonna be billions of 18-year-olds running around? We all need to accept that death is inevitable, and live our lives to the fullest, as humans, rather than merely existing, forever, as products manufactured by science.
scotty3861 Are u still going?
Then you don't support life. Jog on.
Getting old is shaking off the chains and inhibitions of youth.
A wonderful video...the sentiment is shared at www.youth-restored.com
Let's all rage against the dying of the light...and grow into a youthful vigour every day...#youth-restored, #Linda Miner TV
Interesting thanks ha ha
"Aging isn't an illness"... way to discourage any attempt to treat it. Even thousands of years ago, it was understood that the inevitable (and I don't grant that it is inevitable) and the good are not the same.
Does anybody know what the music is and who it is by?

AGE UK IS NOT WHAT YOU MIGHT THINK. THEY ABANDONED ME DUE TO THE FACT MY PHONE COULD RECORD THEM. BUT THEY SAY NOTHING ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT OR COMPANIES THAT DO THE SAME AND MORE. SHAME ON THE AGE UK. FOR NOT CARING. I HAVE JUST TURNED 77 LIVE ON MY OWN.
What is the music???

If aging is not a disease, then how would you describe someone aging four times the "normal" rate (i.e., dying of old age at 20 or 25)? Would you call accelerated aging a disease? If the answer is yes, then would such accelerated aging still be a disease if 100% of the human race aged this way? In other words, does a disease stop being a disease once it affects the entire population?
