Life Biosciences has won FDA approval to proceed with the first targeted attempt at age reversal in human volunteers.
The company plans to try to treat eye disease with a radical rejuvenation concept called “reprogramming” that has recently attracted hundreds of millions in investment for Silicon Valley firms like Altos Labs, New Limit, and Retro Biosciences, backed by many of the biggest names in tech.
The technique attempts to restore cells to a healthier state by broadly resetting their epigenetic controls—switches on our genes that determine which are turned on and off.

Great, the oligarchs will now live forever, what’s the over under on how f’d we will be?
This is actually mind-blowing how far we have come. This concept is widely used in sci-fi and here we are.
I don’t want to live longer. I just want my time here to be joyful.
