how much longer must I wait until humans regenerate from old age?

however long it takes you to learn how

Depends. If tests go well it'll be in twenty years or over a hundred years at worst.

As in reverse aging, unlikely, at least for a foreseeable future.
A bit more realistic is developing anti-aging drugs or even DNA modifications that makes us live longer and age less.
Nobody really knows if and when though, tentatively I'd say the former at least 20 years, the latter 100.

>> No.11316815

>>11316777
really? I always imagined that reversing aging to some extent would come before preventing it. considering it is possible to transplant younger body parts onto yourself, if you could make them biologically compatible you would have accomplished something amazing.

2057. More or less in that timespan, but they won't let us have the drug. We'll have to rely on making our own.

There is evidence that fasting and excercise can prolong life by stressing the body. Just do that for now

Yeah fasting seems to trigger some clearing out of senescent cells, which otherwise hang around causing trouble. so-called senolytic drugs to enhance this clearing out are a hot topic in research right now. Some are in trials already.

Well all my living blood relatives are scheduled to die tonight, so, pretty much when we all wake up on Tuesday OR Wednesday is when I'll distribute the tech.

That is already possible, just not ethical.
You can make a clone, let him grow, kill it and harvest his organs fully compatible with yours.
The brain wouldn't stop aging though, and you can't transplant that.

>> No.11317860

>>11316815
No, transplanted organs acquire the age of the body, so it wouldn't work.

>> No.11317868

There are entire populations doing unwillingly fasting and they don't live longer or age less.

Take copper. Keep mg/ca ratio above one. That may be the best shot right now, since too litttle copper can be linked with many diseases and the increasing ca/mg ratio with age seems to be best avoided with diet.

never. death is coming - a small handful of decades and everyone reading this will be no more, forever. not only that but the brightest part of life only lasts 20 or 30 years - by the time you're 50+ you are a withered shadow of your former self.

No, that much fasting is damaging. Keeping calorie intake sufficient but eating little every second day or so seems to be effective.

Still those people too exist by the millions.
From the hard fasting to the medium to basically any level of diet.
And no stastical evidence at all that it has any sizable effect, aside that being overweight is bad.

it is not. it tries to work with what you have rather than brute forcing the desired state.

i always what wondered what would happen if you took bone marrow from yourself when you were young froze it and then transplanted it back into body when you are a bit older.
Would the younger cells try to rehabitate the older cells or would it be a sort of generational warfare in your body

>> No.11321294

>>11316906
i heard thats because calorie restriction and slowing down cell division rates

>> No.11321478

I don't know why exactly. But it has many health benefits, like exercise. Researchers found that fasting mice lived longer than mice that had ample food based. I guess being complacent causes things to wither and die.
