Fascinating article thank you, and I look upon the tech bro with a mix of pity and recoil. I think billionaires start realizing how many lifetimes they will need to spend all their money instead of giving it away, and feel compelled to live forever.

Sleep, clean foods, exercise, and fun. Priceless. Wish I could afford more of these, but the limiting resource is time.

That being said, I wouldn't mind living to 100 if I could still do stuff and have a sharp mind. Thanks for keeping us posted, and someone give that tech bro some Doritos already. MSG and cheese powder are too good to never eat again.

It is one of the great injustices of life that big dogs live for less time. I'm interested in whether this drug will maintain their quality of life, though, or just extend thei senior years with all the health issues that can entail.

Incidentally, I had an English Mastiff who lived to about 16 (she was a rescue, so never knew her exact age). Happy and healthy, until she wasn't and it was time to let her go.
