Although I believe it is possible for science to oneday discover how to significantly delay the aging process, and rejuvenate damaged tissues, I will remain skeptical of any experimental lab rat reports until they can be proved in the real world.
Sure these mice might live longer, but what the hell does this stuff do to their genes?, and how may it affect their offspring? There are countless questions which only multiply generation human studies could actually answer. The problem is that these investment drivin schemes need immediate returns or else the endeavor will go belly up way before the results are in. This is a quintessential capitalistic conundrum.
Perhaps one day after humanity becomes freed from the motives of greed, a federation of open-source Scientist/Sorcerers will diligently work in the field of life enhancement, passing down knowledge and discovery learned through careful experimentation, from generation to generation systematically, and without being tied to the monetary gain chain there would be nothing to stop such inevitable breakthroughs from occurring......then again from the state of affairs as they are today it is just as likely for mutant monkeys to fly out of their rears.
"Harvard Professor David Sinclair and researchers from the University of New South Wales developed the new process, which involves reprogramming cells."
Maybe I'm a bit cynical, but words like "Harvard Professor", 'New Process", and"involves reprogramming cells" dont fill me with much optimism for the ultimate outcome.
