Abstract
Anti-ageing science and technology are growing rapidly all around the world. People are interested in extending their youth and lifespan. Anti-ageing science and technology work in two different ways. One is altering internal processes. Another one is modifying external appearance. While pharmaceutical corporations, medical professionals, and scientists working on evidence-based practices, con artists, and non-medical professionals exploit people’s aspiration to extend their youth or lifespan. This is a notable phenomenon for both legal and medical professionals. Recent financial fraud related to anti-ageing technology in India is discussed along with historical glimpses of this kind of issue in drug, technology, and treatment. The article also discusses the Indian population’s interest in anti-ageing technologies and treatments.
