I really want cyberpunk to be real. I'm a bio major though so I can only work on the cloning gene editing aspects of cyberpunk. Can anybody here work on the giant buildings and flying cars part?

Great! I'm working on algorithms, but I'm close to people building autonomous planes (air taxi) and satellites. I do know a few people working in biotech, but they're not interested in cyberpunk augs. One of them worked on drug-releasing implants, supposed to ease the body's reaction to the foreign object until it's accepted. It was secret though, so I don't know if it worked.

What kinda time frame are we looking that for these things to be developed, like for example a pill that alters your gene expression for changing eye or hair colour basic shit.
I also want life extension but for some reason I've never met anyone who wants to live forever. I would like to experience everything but apparently that's weird.

> Investigating animals with anti-aging features or drugs?
Many, many different ways people are researching this. A typical lifespan study involves usually mice, flies, or C. elegans. Researcher will either feed it a drug, maybe upregulate a gene, or downregulate a gene, for example, and see if that makes the cohort live longer than the control cohort on average. Finding genes with known functions that increase lifespan, or drugs, can give insights into aging mechanisms. There are a million different known factors that affect aging but it's still a very active area of research and as gene-editing and screening technologies improve, as well as sequencing predictive algorithms, etc. a more clear and more clear picture will be painted in the coming years that could lead to some significant therapies using techniques that are already being used for things like cancer and some niche genetic diseases. I'm just a senior undergrad though so I have a little bit of time before I'lll actually be making any meaningful contributions myself.
>reproductive cloning
Just a fancy word for cloning, i.e. making a genetically identical organism from another organism, as opposed to therapeutic cloning which is just expansion of cells of an organism in vitro for therapy. Very many practical applications to the concept if it could be done effectively in farm animals, for example, and I believe there'd be a market for it in humans. I'd certainly like to clone myself someday. The technology is technically there and it is theoretically possible to do it in humans, just impossibly difficult and new techniques would be required to do it in humans. It's been done in many mammals though, like goats and mice, and some more.

>pill that alters your gene expression
I've read some wacky ideas that are very intelligent but I haven't heard of any actual pills that would do that. Read a paper about nanotech-mediated RNA delivery, don't know what's come of that but it's a cool idea. Gene therapy is a thing though. It usually involves putting DNA you want to insert into the target organism inside of a virus and the virus will insert the DNA into the target cells en masse. I think they tried this once by just giving the virus to a dude but he had a severe immune response that killed him and the field has been sort of slowed down since. I actually just had a lecture today from a guy who removes blood cells from patients who have immune diseases, expands them in a dish, edits them using viral vectors, and re inserts them. He's cured a lot of people like that and there's a bright future in that sort of therapy, I believe.

As far as this applies to aging, I think if we found out more about exactly which genes affect lifespan the most and perhaps which organs or tissue types are the most important, we could periodically remove and replace adult stem cells with gene edited stem cells from the same person which would then go on to reconstitute the tissue. This is a really common idea but I haven't really heard of anyone doing it for aging therapy. It's also sort of basic, though. Better methods of gene delivery would be a huge boon to therapy in general. I'm not too up to date on the latest with that but if there were anything with real clinical potential that were better than what we have now then it would likely get famous fast.

They're coping, wouldn't say the same shit if they were on their deathbeds. People always are okay with dying but they're not ready just yet. Always just a little more time. When is it enough? Never. I think most people can't handle the reality that the void awaits us all so they lie to themselves.
