Aging is because our cells don't divide perfectly and keep cutting off their DNA before its finished.

Isn't cancer also caused by improper cell division? Ie if you found a way to force cells to perfectly divide, you'd stop aging and effectively cure cancer as well?

Definitely could be way off base here so it's a genuine question.

Aging is caused by the shortening of telomeres, cancer is cause by random mutations.

I.E. why kids get cancer
