Allegedly it’s the gradual reduction in telomere size after repetitive cell divisions, poor health habits, and lack of exercise. But then again, if we just placed a body on ECMO, dialysis, intubating on a respirator, put a tube into their stomach to feed them, their body would live just long enough for cancer to eventually kill them.

Once you get past 60 you won't care. Pretty sure i read a large study one time that showed the fear of death depletes past 60.

It makes sense. By 60 you have experienced everything you can - very unlikely you will do well career wise or financially past that age if you haven't already, most of your relatives will either be dead or dont talk to you, your body starts to become disguising and saggy, you will eventually have to be cared for by some stranger so you can be fed through a tube and change your diapers, then right before death you will be in soo much pain you will be begging to die.

My great grandfather lived past 100 and told me it's fucking boring once you reach your retirement age.

Just imagine immorality. There would come a point where you have done everything and experienced everything humanly possible.

My dad died from Alzheimer's/dementia. I've spent some quality time in nursing homes. It's not a pretty sight and those definitely aren't the "golden years". Those are the years where you fall and break your hip once per year, piss your pants, drool, lose your vision, forget your name, etc. Your body transforms into a hideous prune of what it once was. Your quality of life goes down the toilet and you basically sit around in boredom and misery waiting to die while fantasizing about being young again and being able to bang all of the hot female caregivers who help you take a bath. There's nothing cute or fun about getting old. It's a slow motion train wreck, basically.

As for when they're going to cure death, given the advance of modern technology, I would guess within 50 years time.

You obviously have no idea what those terms mean, because it's completely accurate.
They did get meaningful stats. Look at the p-numbersthat are very low despite the rather small sample. It's mostly a concern when the p-numbers are rather high. In fact neding a very large sample means the effect is for all practical purposes meaningless.

Representativeness means the sample is sufficiently random. I can't even imagine what kind of bias could happen here, except perhaps the age of death, but that was accounted for.

What do you mean no effort? You accuse them of fraud because of where the research was done. It seems you want to dismiss it with no effort.

I'm not saying it's meaningless. I'm saying that arguing with peer review standards is meaningless unless you can point out errors in the paper. As you may not know, peer review means somebody read the paper and checked it for errors. Not even the most prestigious journals do more

The shortening of telomeres is unlikely to be a problem. We have telomerase naturally.

We need to start with nutrition. Copper deficiency, wrong calcium/magnesium ratio, iron overload can be linked to so many diseases that only fixing those could bring lifespans close to 100. Just stop adding chalk and iron to flour and add copper somehow and there should be far less disease. Other nutrients may be a problem though, more research is needed. Fix that, instead of finding cures for something that kills one 10k or trying to make somebody with cancer live one month longer.

It's probably supposed to be. There is very little association with telomere length and aging (the range is so high that a 20 year old can easily have shorter telomeres than a 80 year old).

While I've been telling you the whole time it most likely isn't so. Yes, telomeres get shorter with age, but that isn't anywhere enough to directly kill most people. In fact, it might be just a sign of prolonged (chronic) copper deficiency and not related to aging at all. The mechanism itself is in doubt, because telomeres shorten even in tissues where the cells don't replicate much.

DNA can be damaged from different factors, but it's INEVITABLY gets a cell with a shorter telomere when it replicates. And afaik once we born cells have about 15 divisions left (most of that path to hayflick limit is passed before we are born, because in prenatal development our cells divide as mad)

And some of them probably die young.
Let me explain it the way I understand:
Cells can live with short telomeres alright but only until the hayflick limit is reached and then they can neither replicate nor even function properly. They shorter your telomeres are, the more cells are going to be at that critical level. And if you're so unique that your telomeres are long (I wonder how that can be, because I heard that it's an exact number of 52, but it's a special number, so it could actually be an average. Let's say you took good care about yourself, so your cells wasn't damaged and thus they didn't need to divide so often. Then you still have few other reasons to die of.
> copper deficiency.
I don't know about copper, I've got you, now you get the opposite limit: Elevated copper levels have also been linked to worsening symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.[162][163]
> I'm telling you telomeres shorten even in organs where cells don't really divide much at all.

Are you somehow mentally challenged? How am I supposed to look it up. Anyway the "evidence" he presents shows basically the exact opposite - copper didn't used to be thought to be toxic before WWII, people used to cook in copper and even used copper based food pigments, which means people would ingest far higher amounts of copper than today. Copper is being helated from processed foods to prevent browning, also in line with the reduced intake. The effect of trace amount in drinking water must be minimal in comparison to that.

>Why don't you stay looking young, then?
I'm still not convinced you don't look youngER once your cells are rejuvenated. But there are many other things that mess with our looks: aging spots (I suppose they're papilomes, shells on our ships so to say) then there are wrinkles caused by stress (which is treated by botox injections, but I wouldn't recommend them, for a couple of reasons) then some tissues can be dislocated because of all the microtraumas we inflicted on them. and so on.

As I said there are old people with long telomeres. We should be seeing grannies looking younger than some young people if telomeres were the deciding factor. We just don't. Why do you keep obsessing over that after virtually everybody else moved on?
>then there are wrinkles caused by stress
Stress depletes copper. Anti aging creams regularly contain copper.
> then some tissues can be dislocated because of all the microtraumas we inflicted on them. and so on
That's bullshit.
>put it in the "'s and look it up in any search engine
That's wat I did. In addition to what I alůready wrote, it's obivous he wrote the papers to promote his patented therapy. There is, by his own data 0.12ppm in drinking water. The recommended intake for pigs (which is however banned due to heavy metal concerns) is 200-250 ppm feed. 0.12 is absolutely insignificant compared to that.

It doesn't mean they are they cause the poor health. Association alone doesn't tell you which way the causation goes, or even if one causes the other, or if there is another factor which causes both.

Well, let's see what would happen if I was right. I'm pretty sure that the evidence is extremely convincing for at least obesity, diabetes and alzheimers.
Food industry would start losing money. While it's really more like you burn more, than you eat less. (and you don't need salt for some strange reason), the losses would have to be massive. A lot of popular foods would become broadly unpalatable.
Medical industry would lose on not treating all the people with obesity and diabetes. Massive amounts of money.
You can order a literal ton of copper sulfate for around two thousand dollars. Cure for literally pennies. Careers would end. Both researchers and carers for the affected. Nothing much to research on AD, no potential for patented cures, no need for care for the demented.
Not to mention class law suits for all of the above. I can imagine hospitals getting burned for all the abuse and lies the ill people get, for no reason what so ever.
And what if I'm right about the other stuff?
Imagine children not needing braces, tooth decay being a rare disorder. Dentistry would collapse.
If the eyes turn out to be right - all eyecare, glasses, lenses, billions of dollars worth woudl collapse. Lasik machines would became worthless, together with their staff.

You know it is right, right?

I don't see how that's a scam, the point is precisely to gamble on someone coming up with an idea in the future. Surely unfreezing is easier than reviving and inventing immortality so surely that won't be a problem by then. The gamble exists much more in the dimensions that it might never happen, there might be technical failure before it happens, and finally, it might be that the freezing method does not allow unfreezing, but everyone is informed of that, so again not a scam.

Do they claim the otherwise? They openly stated that it's yet to invent. What is obviously true is that it will be easier to resurrect you from permafrost than from a decomposed compost.
They also invented vitrification fecently, which made this process less damaging. That technology is still in its early stages (no whole body is vitrified yet, only brains were successfully vitrified recently) yet I don't know much about this technology, but I think they managed to freeze and unfreeze(!) a frog using this technology (which is not surprising, since frogs make this trick themselves, and that is how they found that... (but I shouldn't speak of something I don't know much about, you should research this thing by yourself if you're interested)
Of course scam situation is always possible, since nobody probably controls if the bodies are still in those tanks for example. So, if a tank and equipment to it costs less than a client is asked to pay, then I would raise my brows and suspicions, otherwise "cynicism is the first barrier on the road to success" (no matter how counter-intuitive this (probably botched) quote is)

The funny part is that you need to iron out all bad solutions that are worse then death.

And preserving your mind is phenomenally difficult.

In earlier ages it was religion and the afterlife, today for atheists its some magical cure for aging.
