Retrogenesis, Oliver Sacks and the Spiral of Life
The late Oliver Sacks and neurologist Barry Reisberg are cited regarding the concept of "retrogenesis," where the aging process mirrors a reversal of childhood development. This theory suggests that as individuals grow older and lose cognitive function, they return to a childlike or even fetal state, potentially reopening the same perceptual doors present in infancy. This cyclical view of life implies that the dying process is a return to a state of rebirth.
