      Has anyone done an experiment administering rapamycin to humans to see if it slows aging? Would that experiment pass an ethics committee?

        We don't even have reliable biomarkers for aging in general so what would the endpoints for such an experiment be?

          Lifespan would be an easy one to measure. Experiment could take a while.
