> complete agelessness I'm still puzzled why you think an ECMO machine of all things is related to this at all. It's no more sensible than thinking a tourniquet has anything to do with prolonging lifespan. They both might save your/a life in the moment, but people still age, they get old, and no one basically even knows where to begin on that one even if they agree with you that it may be possible. I would go even further that those that sincerely imagine it is possible in the foreseeable future have no specialized knowledge of how it would actually work or be done (people like 4000 supplements and alkaline water Ray Kurzweil only prove out this point). You don't even know what you don't know. And even if possible there is no sane reason to think that ECMO has any role in prolonging lifespan any more so than a ventilator or dialysis, you've completely lost the plot on that one. > But every year that we wait to start (and we are waiting, because of our belief that it's not possible), is another year that people are needlessly dying. Amusing that when dealing with eternity, what difference does it make if its 100 years, 400 years or 1000 years. Unless you have a better prediction than 1. build a better heart-lung machine 2. ??? 3. eternal life, chances are it's not going to be in your lifetime, so it really is of no consequence to you or your peers. And I'll guess you have little practical or actionable to add to this body of "research".
