In before the AJ people start saying “see?! Adrenochromes!”
Surely this will give more fuel to the conspiratorial fire.

#52Seems a perfect movie plot: A villain kidnaps children to extract brain fluid looking for the immortality :-(
Turn that to 11; Tad Williams' Otherland is among my favorite reads.

#53See also cerebrolysin in humans.
Yes google it.
Now.

#55These kinds of articles give me the creeps. As interesting as the science is, I imagine this also encourages a bunch of silicon valley millionaires and billionaires to essentially become vampires.
Vampires are unbecoming.
This is why the SV billionaires need to create the metaverse. The matrix had a the right idea, just keep the young plugged in to VR and use machines to do the dirty work.

#56Death is the ultimate equalizer. We take solace in the fact that no matter how rich, brutal, tyrannical, comically-villainous one is, death will surely come for us all.
The day old-gizzards figure out how to sip on young-people juice and live forever, we are truly screwed.

#58This is why I want a personal stem-cell account. I would like an account of various bodily components, grown from my personal stem-cells, for injection / growth / use as I see fit. My Stem Cells My Choice. --- (for example, I want to regrow my eyeballs.)
> My Stem Cells My Choice
We need a political movement
Strong agree but I'm not aware wether adult stem cells can be grown into whole organs.
It's true that e.g the spleen can respawn after ablation so definitely not impossible.
Although of course the graal is your sperm, it is a DNA that is 0 years old, you can't make it any younger! Growing fœtuses without brains might be a real possibility and the ultimate medecine breakthrough.
Note that your eyeball metabolism can be significantly rejuvenated, e.g retinalamin often reverse blindness in humans. Or Skq1/visomiten. Glaucoma and macular degeneration are totally solved problems. As for myself I want to shrink my eyeballs (myopia) but this is not pharmacologically doable (because extremely undefunded) although Berberine do very significantly slow the myopia progress.

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
This isn't my area of expertise at all. A personal experience that comes to mind is when my childhood cat developed kidney disease. She drank plenty of water, urinated excessively, and her blood still became toxic without regular (~daily) intervention in the form of adding saline to her blood intravenously. Like a light switch she'd resume normal life after the saline bag emptied into her blood, then slowly become il…
You must have loved that cat very much.
Pet insurances are very useful for such situations. They cover you for big surgeries and make those small procedures almost invisible in your monthly budgets.
