Don't despair, you may yet live long enough to see the BR loop.
ETA: the article gets it wrong. Mayo is in MN, not NY.

Can removing old, tired-out cells extend an animal’s life span?
That’s is the conclusion of first-of-a-kind study by researchers at the Mayo Clinic, which found that mice lived about 25 percent longer on average if so-called “senescent” cells were cleared out from their bodies.
The results, reported today in Nature, outline a possible new tactic for treating diseases including glaucoma, arthritis, and heart disease, and potentially extending human life, according to lead author Jan van Deursen, a molecular biologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, New York.

That's actually pretty cool. Wish they would figure out a cure for cancer first though.

The article also says these cells are associated with tumor formation, so they have that covered, too.

This is either a joke about drinking or masturbating, but I can't tell which.
