    Hey, first off, go fuck yourself and learn to read, you self-righteous prick. I’m not in the mood to have niceties slapped out of hand by a dickhead whose head is too far up their own ass at a company to read. I never said a lick about the company. Did I say, “hold on, science isn’t out yet” or “i dunno [company] could be on to something”? Did I mention the feasibility of whatever they’re peddling at all?

    If you think questions about weird and tangential claims is defense of something else, then that’s you’re own failing. I said your incensed claim that humans have a maximum lifespan has no bearing or relation on a treatment that would address that. It was, and remains, a weird non-sequitur.

    Stem cells have a predetermined number of copies of cells, they put them forth, they have preprogrammed cell death, where they are replaced. You would need to increase the number of stem cell copies for one, then safeguard the sanctity of the dna from degrading, to increase lifetimes, just for starters.

    “Read your comment”? Yeah, you just proposed a thing that would reverse the effects of aging, i.e. the human body reaching the end of its lifespan. And then…humans might live signifcantly longer than a century. In strict contravention of the wisdom of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

    Throughout all history, maximum human age hasn’t differed, average has, maximum has always been around 100, more or less. Always. They had old people in ancient egypt, in greece, in rome.

    So what the fuck does this have to do with anything regarding potential medical treatments?

    Throughout all history, man has had some people who just couldn’t see. They had people who couldn’t see well “in ancient egypt, in greece, in rome.[sic]” That is just as relevant to your point as what you previously said.
