Google is super secretive about its anti-aging research. No one knows why
- aurizon 10y agoWhy not be secretive? We have seen how all those people who are dealing in fake age extension shout and ballyhoo their stuff - and how they are razzed and discounted. As they say "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far."
- sevensor 10y agoSimplest explanation: ageing is hard to fix after all, and they have nothing to show for their efforts.
- JPLeRouzic 10y agoBeing secretive made me think about Intellectual Property. I wonder if it is possible to patent a process to "cure "aging", because a patent describes a process with a begin, an end and a result. You can patent a drug, its usefulness is clear, you are ill, you take a drug and then you are in good health. It can be measured with bio markers. In contrast "curing aging" is something different, the result is that you do not age, nothing has changed, what does that mean from an IP point of view?
