A new treatment that blocks an aging-related protein restored lost cartilage in old mice and helped prevent arthritis after knee injuries. Human cartilage samples showed similar signs of regeneration, raising hopes for a future drug that could repair joints instead of replacing them.
Good. Biological aging is nothing more than a series of processes, not an inherent property of atoms, and it’s time we start getting serious about anti-aging and life extension.
But probably not, seeing what the world is like.
People have been seeking life extension for all of recorded history.
Its mostly billionaires who will be able to benefit from life extension… do you really want a world where trump, musk, and all their silicon valley friends rule the world until they turn 300 years old?
Luckily there’s no vaccine against guillotines.
Give it time.
Aroooooo
Billionaires, and everybody living outside the US
So essentially Altered Carbon?
I think that’s more kinda digitised, transferable consciousness. I’d take it tho.

Why do you think that? We already benefit from life extension. And why only 300?
If you’re that worried, start working towards killing them. Seems like it’s going to be necessary step either way to correct many problems in the world. What’s one more reason for the pyre?
How about not life extension but quality of life extension instead (e.g. this post)
Indeed, I don’t really feel like living for more more than 90 years, I just want to be able to do what I like to do until I die.
I didn’t realize people weren’t being serious about it this whole time. The tens of millions of dollars of research grants seemed pretty serious.
LOL that pays for a focus group for branding. You can’t be serious.
You’re telling me you’re a “huge nerd,” but think medical research is done by companies and involves focus groups? Like, it’s a Marvel or something?
Jfc. If 90 million dollars isn’t anything to you, howbout you give yours away then bud.
