Rejuvenation is a medical discipline focused on the practical reversal
of the aging process.Rejuvenation is distinct from life extension.
Life extension strategies often study the causes of aging and try to
oppose those causes in order to slow aging. Rejuvenation is the
reversal of aging and thus requires a different strategy, namely
repair of the damage that is associated with aging or replacement of
damaged tissue with new tissue. Rejuvenation can be a means of life
extension, but most life extension strategies do not involve
rejuvenation.Various myths tell the stories about the quest for
rejuvenation. It was believed that magic or intervention of a
supernatural power can bring back the youth and many mythical
adventurers set out on a journey to do that, for themselves, their
relatives or some authority that sent them anonymously.An ancient
Chinese emperor actually sent out ships of young men and women to find
a pearl that would rejuvenate him. This led to a myth among modern
Chinese that Japan was founded by these people.
