    I wonder if my insurance considers “not being immortal” to be a preexisting condition 🤔

      different kinds of immortality. immortality without regenerative abilities, like with many shows/movies, basically you will be in constant pain(like with orpheus in sandman, he had immortality but had no ability regenerate.

    Don’t expect a pill to take you back to 21 any time soon. This trial is still in its beginning stages, and cellular reprogramming led to cancerous cells forming in some early research in mice. Plus, the company’s co-founder, Harvard geneticist David Sinclair, has a history of overhyping his longevity treatments.

    Sooo… make your cells younger, and also get cancer?

      Honestly? If it legitimately did de-age people I doubt this would be that big a sticking point.

        It’s a glaucoma treatment not an age elixir. I’m not sure more than 10% of comments read the extremely short article.

          Oh to be clear I was saying if it was legitimately an age reversing elixir I’d take a stab in the eye.

          Though honestly I’d still take it to cure glaucoma, that shits scary.

        I’m excited for the possibilities. It wont be equitably used in this capitalistic hellscape, but it won’t always be like this.

        There is also some medication they have been studying that mimics the effect of exercise that is intriguing. Last I heard though it caused tumours so I assume that is a hard problem to crack.
