What if it gets controlled by everyone?
- tetris11 2y agoIt could be a flip of a coin. Craig Venter[0] almost patented what was back then the human reference genome (based on his own genome), but thankfully publicly funded efforts prevailed to taper the profiteering. We could be in a similar situation with anti-aging drugs. Plus, with citizen science projects making ad-hoc labs more accessible than ever, there's a good chance that normal people could make their own versions of these anti-aging drugs, assuming that science journals and informatic pipelines remain accessible (the current rent-seeking of top journals lends some small but worrying evidence against this). 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Venter#Human_Genome_Project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Venter#Human_Genome_Proj...
