    queproblema

    		Struldbrug.

    In Jonathan Swift's novel Gulliver's Travels, the name Struldbrug is given to those humans who are born seemingly normal, but are in fact immortal. However, although struldbrugs do not die, they do nonetheless continue aging. Swift's work depicts the evil of immortality without eternal youth."
