Isn't it understood that even though we can extend lifespans past 80, the brain itself tends to degrade around then, so quality of life tends to deteriorate anyways? So it's just length of a life, but whether the mental impacts of aging can be prevented.
That's aside from the whole labor commoditization angle.
Yes. Imagine if we allowed this technology for pets. Nobody likes to bury a pet. So now Fido is pushing 40, his brain is soup, he bites everything, and there’s nothing behind the eyes. Oh and he’s still strong and can see well enough to aim the bites.
These doctors are threatening us all with Brandonization
Well they did just release a vaccine for dogs that slows down their cell degeneration and increases their lifespan by 5-10 years. But since it decreases degeneration they keep their quality of life until just the final years like they do right now. So idk 🤷♂️
