Imagine just settling down to have children at 40 years of age!!! You'd be on a date and you'd be both like, done that, been there, tried that.

Happy Blue 1,902 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 20 hours ago, nudge said: https://www.technologyreview.com/2021/09/04/1034364/altos-labs-silicon-valleys-jeff-bezos-milner-bet-living-forever/ https://futurism.com/the-byte/altos-labs-wealthy-investors Thought this is quite a creepy and interesting topic. A bunch of billionaires investing into a biotech startup with a goal to reverse aging and prolong the lifespan of humans. Not the first one with such ideas either; there's a Google spin-off company called Calico Labs which is already working on that and are already publishing first research papers, as well as several others investing into the field. Thoughts? Think i will just stick with fasting ..interesting though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie 3,256 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think it's far more likely (and probably beneficial) that they will find ways of reducing visual aging. I don't see how you're gonna get around things like osteoporosis, arthritis, cancer ect that will still ruin your body and make your stupid 120 year old ass wish you were dead. But, if they had a treatment to make you look 30-40 until you were 60-70, i'd take that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,330 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Subscriber Share Posted January 13, 2022 Once again, the primary aim of research in those fields is not to simply increase human lifespan, but to make people stay healthy longer by delaying/slowing/reversing certain processes behind age-related degenerative and autoimmune diseases as well as certain cancers. Think DNA repair, gene therapy, stem cell therapies, rejuvenation, regenerative medicine, etc. It's a somewhat young and also quite controversial area of research, but some of it is extremely fascinating (while some is overly optimistic, sci-fi level stuff, which is equally fascinating).

Former baseball player for the Red Sox. They froze his body after he died so that he could be brought back in the future. It may only be urban legend but supposedly his body and head were stored separately. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Williams#Death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ 15,330 Posted January 13, 2023 Author Subscriber Share Posted January 13, 2023 This is a very fascinating article reporting on the latest study by David Sinclair and his team, where they demonstrate how the aging process can be reversed (and accelerated) successfully in mice. Really groundbreaking work and that article is a great read, highly recommended. The Information Theory of Aging is extremely interesting in itself, and it's very cool to see such new science ideas being tested out. Here's the link to the original paper that dropped yesterday: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867422015707?dgcid=author And here some more info and answers from the leading author himself: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
