Yes, exactly so! Also, we have already been able to find "magic drugs" for mice, worms, fruit flies, yeast, and other organisms. Currently Celine Halioua's Loyal and Matt Kaeberleine's lab are working on doing the same for dogs - a huge step toward doing the same in even larger mammals, humans. Finally, saying the drug doesn't exist in concept form simply reveals complete ignorance of the field of aging research. In fact we have an embarrassment of riches! There are multiple competing paradigms, which each suggest a similar but different mix of therapeutic modalities. We have David Sinclair's paradigm of information loss via analog epigenetic decay, Blagosklonny's paradigm of programmed aging, DNA loss approaches, the very exciting idea of senolytics, partial reprogramming (a hot one), and others. You might read Jose Luis Ricon, or Laura Deming, for a quick overview of the subject. I think we will see the first drug approved specifically to treat aging by 2030 or 2035. Considering how long the current stable of candidates will take to wend their way through the pipeline, that's a pretty optimistic prediction. It will not be a one-and-done deal, but something that will make a difference.
