This actually just made me think that of all the things we can reverse, I don't think menopause is on there. I can only seem the feminists melt about the sex imbalance in de-aging

Is this just another cool science breakthrough story that we read about on here and then never hear about again?

It seems to happens a lot unfortunately.

If this ever comes to fruition, I wonder what kind of affect it would have on the economy…. Assuming people start living to 100-130+

This is really cool. Sign me up for the first shot

Feminists melt about everything, so why listen to them?

I hate to be that guy. But there is always a cost with drugs like this. Isolating one system and recovering it usually comes at the price of something else in another system. there are still too many inter connections in the human body that we really don’t understand.

Why can’t people just age? Just fricking age and wear nice clothes. Dispense wisdom and join a bowling league.


Getting old is when you’re supposed to relax and reminisce, not cling to looking like a younger old person.


why do you care what others do?


1) this could have major implications for overall health and heart health. are you against helping people live longer and continuing medical research towards stopping heart attacks or reducing them?


2) could have major implications for overall skin health and preventing skin cancer which is a big issue. are you against curing cancer?


and frankly why the frick would you want to look old when you dont have to? but nothing is stopping you from doing it.

Who is gonna pay for all the 120 year olds ? They going to work to 95?


i would be happy to but in general many people that are of means and can afford things like this make more than they take out of retirement.

Not really interested in living to see 120, but I would love to have quality of life until I die.

Not to mention if it can reverse heart damage it could have more practical applications than just "looking younger"


This is way more important and yes, you can thank me, Captain Obvious, for this comment.

"If men had to go through menopause there would be a cure for it."

And so it's kind of a groundbreaking demonstration of combination of AlphaFold, what's called directed evolution, where you change the order of the DNA that changes the structure of the protein to test different proteins, do high throughput screening, and ultimately make a novel protein that doesn't exist in nature today that can do something pretty profound for human health.”


This is why we must get AI alignment right. If AI doesn't kill us, it will make us live 2x longer.

UBU.

Why do you care what I do when it doesn’t affect you?

The world needs less of you

Post less.
