Very promising results! But I would love to see what happens when this is approved for human subject testing. Let’s see if the magic number of injections needed - 4 - is still the case.

I read that as four per rejuvenation with no word about how often a rejuvenation would be needed.

Was told by my wife years ago that there is a Hong Kong tycoon who has been doing this for years. Supposedly hires young people to do nothing but to stay healthy and then has transfusions of their blood. Just checked and he is still alive at 91. But this echoes vampire.

This reminds me of plasma treatment for covid-19 which is actually proven. Perhaps someone will create a market for that.

Do we really want to live in a world where the billionaires live forever?

The implication of the article is that the treatment may not be extremely costly. Idk why you immediately start talking about billionaires. The divide would likely be between the poor and the middle class.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Let's make everything about "billionaires" and completely ignore any good news.

I'm missing the "good news" part...?

If the headline was "universal cure for cancer found!", would you also say "I'm missing the good news"?
