  There is just about zero chance that those changes would filter down to the masses, so hopefully that doesn’t happen. I don’t want billionaires to live forever, that would be some real life vampire shit.

    Actually it’s debunked that only rich would benefit. Any sane country would prefer paying less to keep people healthy than more for health care, and the treatments are in theory not costly by themselves.

    Maybe at the start rich people will try out treatments before economy of scale have hit, a bit like mobile telephones (at the start they were super expensive and worked not well). Except they are now the guinea pigs.

      How could you possibly know that the treatments to reverse againg aren’t costly by themselves?

        Downvote all you want but being irrational doesn’t help you out here.

        Billionaires has nothing to do with geriatric research for what I know, and every country isn’t the USA.

        Medication is expensive to invent but cheap to produce. Don’t you think like everyone won’t synthesise it themselves if it rejuvenates you? And that’s like the worst thing that would happen. Most research is directed from Europe, and we don’t have the tendency to kill people for profit as our friends the Americans do.
