If in 20 years or maybe 10 they can inject you with something that makes you live a healthy active life for over 100 years and after that your brain in a pickle jar running a robot body! Seriously, what effect would it have on society, demographics might be changed a lot and perhaps not for the best as society becomes more conservative. 150-year-old healthy wealthy people might resist new changes we can't imagine in a society where technology was moving at blinding speed and AI and robots had rights! So might actually believe in God or other old ideas and old ideas and values die with those who hold them, but if nobody dies, or lives for a long time, and not as a senile invalid, but a healthy active person, what does that do?

One-and-done anti-aging treatment “rejuvenates” old mice

CAR-T cells that have been modified to target senescent cells could be a one-and-done anti-aging treatment.

Those are not meant for us. Look at how single-dose gene therapy treatments are priced. Even with insurance covering 90%, these drugs are for the 1%. Behold healthcare inequality descending to unimagined depths.

Cost curves and tempting for countries with socialized healthcare and serious demographic issues... If it was economical the NS government would adopt it to save healthcare costs. If it can be automated, it can follow cost curves. Robots might not be the only way out for Japan, they can just live longer.

They are freaking out over environmental issues and regulations by the EU I believe. Imagine what they will be like if the food disruption happens as they predict. Another report was just issued by Oxford over on my renewable thread that might make them happy about sustainable farming, favors small farmers over large monoculture etc 10 trillion bucks involved they say.
