Forever Young?

[juttjaw]

From what I've read, they can get our older cells to start repairing themselves, like they did when we were young. They've been able to do this, in mice, for some time now. The problem was, they didn't know how to stop it. Which, for obvious reasons, needs to be done at some point. They made some advances in that area and think they can turn those cells off and on. So, reverse hearing loss by having your ears repair the damage, then turn them off again when it's to a satisfactory point. Then, aging starts again. It's really exciting science! They had slated some human trials for, next year? Or maybe a year after that. I read on it, because the trials were starting with the eyes and macular degeneration. My mother in law is quickly losing her sight due to it.

Ya may not have to do the fecal implants...they have found an oceanic creature that is almost as effective as the fecal implants.

do you have a name associated with that trial for hearing?

Yeah that squirting mollusk.

Coincidentally, it’s had a big following on AmPics for years.

I'm not sure they were doing a hearing study just yet. They said they picked the eyes, because (as far as body parts go) it's "fairly simple". I don't really get how the eye is simple, but apparently it's more simple than all the moving parts of the inner ear.

I would certainly keep my eyes open. I suppose it depends on if it's actually reliable enough to work. But the fact they were ready to move on to human trials is encouraging.

It’s Fountain of Youth stuff, fersure.

Downside: if you live to be 150 instead of 90, do you work until you’re 125?

I could think of a lot of worse things than being able to work at 125 y.o.

“jim’s been with the company for 112 years now…”

I enjoy women between 18-27, primarily for their soft skin and vaginal elasticity, not to mention their relative lack of guile.

Perfectly ripe and unsullied in body and spirit.
If you could bottle that… wow!
