Age Reversal Breakthrough: Harvard/MIT Discovery Could Enable Whole-Body Rejuvenation::In a pioneering study, researchers from Harvard Medical School, University of Maine, and MIT have introduced a chemical method for reversing cellular aging. This revolutionary approach offers a potential alternative to gene therapy for age reversal. The findings could transform treatments for age-re

          The other implication of that show is that you need to keep paying, even after you’re dead. You are no longer earning anything in the afterlife and are entirely dependent on having family/friends/loved ones continue paying for your access to the upper tier. But once the “second death” where people forget about you happens, the poor experience is inevitable, and you accept that you’re nothing more than a scanned consciousness to be used by this corporation for profit.

        All technology is initially available to only the rich. But it can be widely available, if people demand it.

        Also, those pills don’t work anyway so don’t get too worried yet.

        Peter Thiel and probably Donald Trump have supposedly been injecting themselves with children’s blood, or at least a derivative from their blood.

      Jokes aside, are we just cribbing from sci-fi cart blânche these days?! I mean, sure “Art imitates Life imitates Art”, but still. When the only dead are the poors (>99% of humanity itself), the entire species will certainly collapse. (Where’s the “bridge of nose pinch + sigh” emoji when you need it?) 🤷🏼‍♂️

            I don’t really understand this viewpoint but treatments for aging won’t make you immortal which is almost certainly impossible. You’ll still die, you’ll just be healthier for a longer period, possibly a much longer period.
