Why is it always like this? Even "in mice" I think they always start with an animal that has been genetically modified to age faster or show some trait of aging and then cure that, as opposed to taking a normal healthy mouse and extending its age by 40%, no?

Even with the genetic line, same chow and environment, it's possible to have mice that are ill in one location and healthy in another. https://www.alzforum.org/news/research-news/gut-microbes-difference-between-life-and-death-c9orf72-mice https://www.alzforum.org/news/research-news/gut-microbes-dif...
