    I understand why you feel this way, but 1) it’s underway in our lifetimes (quite possibly) and b) it’s going to be cheap.

    The first age reversing drugs can already be bought for a couple of thousands of dollars (dasatinib + quercetin (D+Q), an experimental senolytic combination, not very good because it’s the first, better cheaper will come).

    Even if the cost is high for starters, governments would subsidise it (maybe not in the usa lol) to have healthier people, medic care for old decripit people cost enormously.

    I know people love to hate on this subject, but it’s fantastic research that will help alleviate enormous sufferings, or so I think.

      The way people cope with their silly little mortality is by holding on tight to the inevitability. Take that away and they panic, so they can’t think clearly about it.
