Scientists Just Successfully Reversed Ageing in Lab Grown Human Cells

I don't really care if that's what initially happens as long as my health span is longer, to be honest.

Cancer isn't a modern disease lmao, it's been around since the dawn of time. It was just that when you died at the age of 60 in 1934 it was because of "natural causes". As we got better at diagnosing things, the things we once thought were natural causes became more identified.

[Spazi]

I agree with that. What I was trying to say is that the disease has become more prevalent due to longer life expectancy.

The worst possible outcome is a possibility.

You need me.

I don't care about aging I'd just like to have the metabolism I had in my teens forever thanks

On the topic of cancer, aging definitely plays a role in it. Basically because the body begins to break down, it stops controlling itself as effectively and cells begins to reproduce in unintended ways. So if you can undo the damage in theory you could reduce the risk of cancer.
What I'm curious about is how this would impact that recent study that human mortality plateaus just after 100. Would the mortality rate improve from there, because I'd assume it would.

I'm not sure how pessimism is necessary; it's not like blocking rich people from living forever would be possible, or even benefit anybody even if it was.

I just wanna be young enough to enjoy nice, tight-bodied, bed rattling sex, not wrinkly, sad fish slapping sex.

Now if only I could actually get out of this basement...
