I decided to start this thread here because it has to do with science and
the progress of info technology. ... That will allow us to have super strong immune systems and
help us be even smarter as our biology will blend with nano technology.
They have already found the aging gene and fat gene and are working on being able to stop and even reverse them. ... I can't wait. This is the best time to be alive!
it may come as a surprise to you, but you Josseppie will, in fact, live forever!

(Not via some man-concocted science theories... either. Those theories of what genes, supposedly control, are all wet.)

But yes, you will live forever.

I think we are talking two different things. While you might be right my goal is to never find out.

This new class of drug looks promesing to help me reverse age by the time I am 50 in 2023.....


Removing Aging Cells With a New Class of Senolytic Drug

The new research work on senolyic drugs by Baar et al. uses a rationally designed molecule that selectively targets senescent cells in vivo, both in an accelerated aging mouse model, and in normally aged mice as well, with few if any side effects.

Senolytics are a new class of potential anti-aging drugs that function by specifically killing senescent cells through apoptosis. The phenotypic changes seen in non-dividing senescent cells, such as the senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can in turn aberrantly influence nearby cells, leading to chronic inflammation and other changes that are detrimental to an organism.

It doesn't help revsere aging simply gets rid of the lingering cells that should be dead but are not which in theory getting rid of them would reduce inflammation in body and thus decrease age related diseases, but won't rejuvenate you.

Also, in their conclusion:

Quote:
"There are of course many follow up experiments that need to be done. Are there truly no side effects? Can this or a similar drug work well in humans? Also, what are the long-term consequences of clearing senescent cells? It is known that senescent cells do play a positive role in promoting tissue repair[9]. Will stem cell replacement be required for the long-term maintenance of organ function? All in all, however, this latest work is a truly significant step forward in the development of a feasible senolytic therapy and further validates the hypothesis that the clearance of senescent cells can promote improved organ function."
Seems like there's still years of research into it.

Yes it is not going to happen over night. I have read by 2023-2029.

I have yet to see evidence that we are close. All the experiments on life extension have concentrated on removing age related disease or slowing down aging, which would all extend your life but not make you younger. I have yet to read anything in which they actually regenerated and reverse the age of something even in very simply organisms.

I used to fall for this phoney science when I was a kid, 40 yrs ago.
Truth is I just hadn't dealt with my mortality and I was afraid but kept pushing it to the back of my mind with the thought that by the time I'm getting old they will have solved the death problem.
Its fantasy science, fake. But if people are too afraid to deal with the reality of life, yes you're gonna die for certain, then you'll fall for anything that sounds promising.

We'll be able to download the mind? thats hilarious.
Precisely where does consciousness reside in the brain.?
Do you know what the latest theories tell us?
Nothing, they don't have any theories.
