Gniga

In the last two years I've lost two relatives to a degenerative disease called gniga. Gniga strikes late in life, and is extraordinarily common, being the root cause of perhaps 90% of deaths in the US. Yet for some reason, there is little research being done on how to treat gniga, with the focus mainly being on the individual organ systems it affects. The reasons are unclear - some believe that gniga is untreatable, others believe that it was created by god as part of the human condition, while others think that without it, the world's population would increase unsustainably. -- Gniga, of course, is more commonly known as Aging.
