I came across David Sinclair and his research into reverse aging. Especially, I came across this video by Veritasium with Sinclair. Apparently his team has managed to reverse aging in mice in a lab? Has this been peer reviewed?
I personally want to believe Sinclair, but he just… seems snake oil salesman-ey for some reason. For one, the channels that he seems to come on are the same channels that host manosphere/pseudoscience/conspiracy related guests. Secondly, he talks a lot of shit about his fellow scientists and just seems a little egoistic? I dunno…
Also, the recommendations that he seems to give (like reducing protein intake) to slow aging just seem to be against conventional wisdom? Also, for the drugs that he recommends taking, wouldn’t the FDA approve them if they actually worked? I dunno. This isn’t how a man of science behaves, right?
Anyway, aside from Sinclair, how far have we gotten in the reverse aging/stopping aging or whatever science? Should we hope to get drugs/treatment to cure this in the next 10/30/50 years?

I want to have choice over when I die.
So if I break into your house and try to kill you, would you be an egomaniac to resist? If you get a heart attack and if you rush to the hospital to get yourself treated, are you an egomaniac?

TIL what a DNR is.

I thought DNR is some lesser known brand of gun in case someone breaks into your house.
Were you answering your own question there?
Lmao

I think the goal here is not properly defined.
A human is just a #brain , with a #body attached to it. The question is, how to keep this body healthy, so that our mind lives longer too.
Actually, if we have the ability to properly separate body from brain, do you know that our brain can live forever ?
So your proposal is transhumanism. Replacing the human body with something different. This is a very interesting discussion for futurology, but I am unaware of any advances in this field.
