His work trickled into nearly every medical field there was,<br> as the passage of time affected many aspects of the human body,<br> not just those associated with people's vanity. An aging population led to the concept getting a lot of attention in the first place,<br> but Dr. Chrono seemed to pay it the most attention of anyone.\n\nThere was a certain jellyfish in the world that,<br> when aged or stressed,<br> could revert itself to an immature form. Now,<br> Dr. Chrono hadn't quite figured out how to reverse aging,<br> but he often cited that jellyfish as inspiration for his research. And now,<br> here he was,<br> with a way to halt human aging for good.\n\nNow,<br> this process wasn't entirely foolproof. A human could still die of outside causes or any number of things going wrong inside the body. The process simply made old age no longer a concern for those that underwent it. It was not immortality itself,<br> merely a piece of the potential puzzle.\n\nAspects like that made Dr. Chrono uneasy about his discovery. Undoubtedly,<br> the media would blow it out of proportion and declare it a cure-all for the woes of the old,<br> which was multiple forms of untrue. There was also the issue of government regulations. Would the government attempt to control who could use the treatment and when? Would they force everyone to stop aging at a very specific point that was useful to them? Furthermore,<br> what if someone had been forced to stop aging as,<br> say,<br> a child? The potential for abuse was incredible.\n\nDr. Chrono must have thought about the implications of his findings for weeks on end. He wasn't going to just let what he'd found sit in a lab,<br> locked away forever. Yet,<br> could he really release it into the world and just let the consequences come as they may? That was how releases of technology went,<br> it seemed. Most people pretended to have not to have anticipated the consequences of a given advance when they released it and just rode high on the financial gains and fame.\n\nDr. Chrono wasn't in the science game for fortune and fame. Sure,<br> he wanted to find something incredible,<br> much like anyone else did,<br> but he genuinely wanted to motivate a change of life for humanity. He was a rare sort in his genuine desire to help,<br> but he was smarter than to just help blindly,<br> without thinking of consequences. If he released his discovery to the public,<br> could he really be sure that the good justified the potential bad?\n\nAnd yet,<br> the idea of having this discovery sit in his files for all eternity unsettled him. It was that primal drive to ensure a legacy kicking in,<br> for sure. The good possibilities had to balance out the bad possibilities. That had to be the case. He felt like,<br> for once,<br> he had to trust humanity to make proper use of something big and important that could change the face of life on Earth. Could they be trusted? Was this project too big to hide?\n\nDr. Chrono's hands were shaking as he prepared an official report of his findings for the world. There would be a great cascade of effects from here,<br> but he felt this was the thing to do (not necessarily the right thing to do,<br> but the only thing). It was time for the Age Without Aging.\n\nThank you for taking the time to read Dr. Chrono discovers how to stop human aging - A ChronoCrypto Short Story,<br> Below are a couple of announcements and some audiobooks for you too listen.<\/h3><\/center>\n[Hello (https:\/\/steemit.com\/chronocrypto\/@chronocrypto\/dr-chrono-discovers-how-to-stop-human-aging-a-chronocrypto-short-story-work-and-contest-inside)",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"chronocrypto\",<br>\"writing\",<br>\"contest\",<br>\"creativity\",<br>\"life\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZ5L5hYNBg6pTS3G5k9JypKScVtcew2fvHPnajiiLJhci\/Logan-4.jpg\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/steemit-production-imageproxy-upload.s3.amazonaws.com\/DQmUyANne8PAcLNHxCSPDyroCYfzDBjU8bLZXQXxz2MaWRx\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemit.com\/chronocrypto\/@chronocrypto\/dr-chrono-discovers-how-to-stop-human-aging-a-chronocrypto-short-story-work-and-contest-inside\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
