My man, those "pills" are coming and they won't be unique usage (like some Genie provides them).
But they wont be as blunt either, it will be rejuvenation of your retina, kidneys, liver, skin (that doesn't mean you'll look younger), back muscles, heart, etcetera.
If you have cancer type 352 and we got a "pill" to treat it (a treatment, with a high probability to fix it) will you take it and extend your life by 20 years?
We're in a biotech revolution, not in a Santa Claus situation.
I thought like you until I realised medicine is for the rich. Even in countries with universal healthcare there's rationing of advanced therapies.
There's a few promising senesance drugs in trials but that means you and I won't see it until 2060 at the earliest.
rich people also try some weird shit. Wasn't the main reason radium got banned was because some rich guy died of radium water or something?
Bingo.
Not the fact that it was killing women using radioactive paint in watch factories.
It was Ebenezer Byers drinking radium water, that's what brought the hammer down.
Yeah it just proves rich people are idiots too, like steve jobs among others.
Unless you sign up for the drug trials!
Check out D&Q the first senessent cell clearance treatment, it's not that expensive.
Also, governments (except the USA it seems) will help getting everybody in good health, the economic benefits are enormous.
I'm so tired with this nonsense that only the rich will be getting it, it's not true. Check out all other treatments, who are for the ultra rich only?
If you can reverse aging, will you only sell it to a bunch of billionaires, or to billions of people? Of course you'll earn more money selling it to basically every human being on the planet.
Happy days
It sure is 💖 !
