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.
will still be a pointy stick tho
please be a zombie drug… please be a zombie drug… please be a zombie drug…
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?
Nature's anti-cheat
Got cancer? Take these pills to feel younger while you still can!
No, fuck no. Fuck no, no no no. Trump needs to die first
Hear me out.
Infinite life imprisonment.
Homelander needs his miracle shot.
Lisa needs braces.
DENTAL PLAN!
Lisa needs braces...
Lisa would know the only way for her to get braces is for the working class to revolt.
It's not 1989 anymore, you can't support a house and a family of five on a single working man's salary. (Nuclear technician with 35 years experience, maybe..)
Dental plan!
I've seen Altered Carbon. No thanks.
(Haven't read it though)
thiel, and bryan johnson will jump at this. but likely this ends up being pseudoscience.
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.
otherwise wait for 20 years until cheap generics arrive
See also "The human condition" and "It's a canon event!"
they gonna lock me in the safe room to torture me for 400 years with this shit
Sooooo, fucking stupid!
why?
Because the rich will live and the poor will die.
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.
No it's not, there have been several (successful) already.
Smh. We can't trust anything morningbrew.com says now
