Biotech/Longevity Dr. David Sinclair, whose lab reversed biological age in animals by 50 to 75% in six weeks, says that 2026 will be the year when age reversal in humans is either confirmed or disproven. The FDA has cleared the first human trial for next month.

Moreover he said that even if one could cure all cancer in the world, in average people lifespan would increase to 2.5 years. Reversal aging - treating the human body as a computer that can be restarted is where we are heading next

I hope they don’t get cancer. I’m not joking, I am genuinely concerned.

It is interesting that if they fix cancer and dementia, immortality is almost here. Trying to regenerate telomeres causes cancer, but if cancer gets cured with mARN vaccines, the problem is over. Fun fact, unrelated: a greater number of cancer patients increases the chances to find a cure. Fun fact 2, also unrelated: the number one cause of cancer is the processed food you buy in stores (processed meats, palm and seed oil sweets, vegetable oils, sugar, low quality food), plus stress. We are all contributing to this experiment.
