David Sinclair talks about this work in his book Lifespan, in case you are interested in the current state of anti-aging treatments.
It's very exciting that we are beginning to unravel a general mechanism that drives aging across species.

- motoboi 6y agoNot imortal, but probably billionaires will be the first to get longer lifespans (250 years). Imagine how much powerful someone can become. There is a very nice book called Pandora’s Star where people live for a very long time and this causes a lot of interesting developments in society.

- calmworm 6y agoHe’s doing something. It’s impossible to do nothing. And I think “it’s not working” is more of an opinion, so...
- hinkley 6y agoNobody I’ve met is aging the way Mark is aging. He looks... weird. Either he is a potential medical paper, or he’s doing something. Or he’s been replaced by a robot.
- rantwasp 6y agothe reptilians have replaced him
