Take dozens of supplements and teen transfusions? Extend menopause? Pay $75k for a gene-therapy shot? Live like a Bolivian villager? Artificially extending life isn't a fiction anymore.
You know, as I reread this post, I realized that I neglected to ask myself, and you, the enormous existential questions that underlie our quest to defeat aging. Such as, Why try? There’s a common sense answer. It’s not about living longer and getting younger. It’s about living a healthier life in old age. Who wants to be a decrepit old fart? But why the continuing yearning by so many of us to reclaim a long-lost youth? And for others, it’s a fear of death, I’m certain. What do you think?
