Accelerated aging

Accelerated aging is a process that occurs when a body's natural growth cycle advances through an artificially stimulated process. Accelerated aging can often occur as a symptom of a chronal paradox, or may be deliberately caused through scientific processes for the sake of functionality. A prime example of accelerated aging is shown in the 2005 film Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, where the geneticists of the planet Kamino artificially stimulated the aging process of their clone army.

Another example is in the 1979 CBS television movie, Captain America II: Death Too Soon. In the film, a criminal mastermind named General Miguel forced scientist Professor Ian Ilson to perform unconventional studies into the biological effects of aging. Miguel's manipulation over Professor Ilson yielded a chemical formula that could instantaneously age biological matter to an advanced degree, even to the point where the subject could no longer sustain itself through natural processes.
