      I mean, to be honest, I think every 80 year old would be good with feeling 26 again, even if they didn’t live any longer

    Everything works in mice is the saying, but hopefully it will help us getting anti aging treatments to humans in the near future (too)!

        But only ones who will get the treatment and can afford it. I heard Bezo puts lots of money into this.

          Nah, all that has been debunked. Initial treatments might be expensive but quickly pharma would gain selling it to literally everyone.

          Governments will also catch up, democratically or not, who would not have less sick people?

        It’s not to keep old people alive, it’s to make people stay healthy.

        Now think about it and tell me why that is bad.

      I mean death is the only way we can get rid of some bastards in government with antiquated views, it would become problematic if they could live even longer.

        So we all live in good democracies now because people die? I mean we have been doing it for an awful lot of time, like forever.

        When Putin or Kim dies, will the people fill the power vacuum?

        I don’t think so.

          There are treatments so expensive that only rich people from developed countries can afford to have them.

            Yeah the first mobile phones were stupidly expensive too. Treatments get cheaper over time.

            I’m not saying it’s a just system for poor countries and the USA, but that’s a societal problem and it won’t get better if we don’t create treatments that can benefit everyone.
