    Only insane billionaires plan for that.

    I’m not looking to live forever. Just another 40 to 50 years as long as I’m healthy. Only plan for that is to eat somewhat healthy and get a couple hours of cardio and strength training in a few times a week. Nothing obsurd just enough to maintain strength as I age and get the heart pumping.

          Those treatments are in development. Not is use yet. The intention is to periodically reverse aging to shift it to many years younger state. Then repeat after some time.

            no serious pharma company tries to do that, it’s all high proof uncut transhumanist nonsense, served by crackpots, feeding on old scifi and rooted in the same impulse that driven alchemists in search of immortality

            i’m of course not gonna stop you from believing in anything, do what you want

                oh you “did your own research”. i work in pharma and there’s plenty of real problems to be solved instead of chasing wishes of dead chinese emperors

                  Thanks for your service 🙏

                  Do you know what is the single biggest risk factor for mortality globally, and especially in developed countries?

                    BTW, you could read my abstract about this topic in the collection from the 23rd International Medical Esperanto Congress 2025 (IMEC / IMEK) after it is published.

                    Everyone with whom I have discussed it during the congress or led a presentation was fine about the basic principles presented. And many people was perplexed by many facts from the field. Eg. that if we would cure every cancer right now, life expectancy would rise just by around 3 years.

                    There are many contraintuitive stuff about aging, so we need to discuss it more even to spread current understanding to more people that are involved in some way (like, people who experience aging, so everyone).
