"Scientists injected their ER-100 drug into the eye of a patient"

Think I'll wait for the pill for on this one.

I've seen Altered Carbon. No thanks.

(Haven't read it though)

Don’t expect a pill to take you back to 21 any time soon. This trial is still in its beginning stages, and cellular reprogramming led to cancerous cells forming in some early research in mice. Plus, the company’s co-founder, Harvard geneticist David Sinclair, has a history of overhyping his longevity treatments.

Sooo… make your cells younger, and also get cancer?

I wonder if my insurance considers "not being immortal" to be a preexisting condition 🤔

Sooooo, fucking stupid!

[–] sanitation@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

why?

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I'm excited for the possibilities. It wont be equitably used in this capitalistic hellscape, but it won't always be like this.

There is also some medication they have been studying that mimics the effect of exercise that is intriguing. Last I heard though it caused tumours so I assume that is a hard problem to crack.

Because the rich will live and the poor will die.
