>People 50 and older have a lot to look forward to, according to Juvenescence’s Greg Bailey—mainly that we won’t be aging as fast or poorly as our parents. “Science fiction has become science,” said the UK-based anti-aging biotech’s CEO about the company’s completing its $100 million Series B round of financing last week.

I will gladly drop half my income into a company that has a decent chance of having me live decades longer AND in a more youthful body.

To truly show that they are on the right track I want to see a 90 year old wrinkled bald man rejuvenated with thick long dark hair and a youthful face.

The thing is if anyone had a LEGITIMATE "anti-aging" technique which could be used to restore the cellular function of an old man into a young man they wouldn't need publicity they'd be making trillions from all the old rich fucks terrified of death.

Because you need stem cells with the person's own DNA.

Also, cancer doesn't matter if you can just cut all of it out and replace the meat you removed.

But they're not going to do a very good job repairing the body if a lot of the ones you take are damaged. You would somehow need a way to filter out the bad cells, though maybe this is what you meant by causing cancer.

We've found one correlation that shows that some signs of aging are getting reversed by product X, though we're not sure if it works long term or if it produces good enough results long term to halt aging in a human population.
