Modern science has done a lot of great things for human health. Currently, humans live much longer than before, the quality of life is much better and life expectancy is longer.
But there are tons of super-rich people out there who don't just want to live longer. They want to live forever or at least as long as possible, and they have deep pockets to try to make that happen.
Well, Wired magazine has just stated that antiaging research in 2023 could kick off the biggest revolution in medicine since the discovery of antibiotics. That is, ageless technology may be getting more sophisticated.
Of course that anti-old technology can fail and the possibility is great. On the other hand, it's also possible that the hunt for immortality if successful also has the potential to be disastrous. For example, if Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk live very long, they will continue to accumulate wealth.
"Let's say we have some kind of vaccine for old age," says Christopher Wareham, a bioethicist at the University of Utrecht. politics you have."
There are already some of the richest people who openly develop long-lived technology and don't hesitate to splash out a lot of money. There are those who claim they will not take advantage of their own technology.
Bezos-funded startup Altos Labs, founded with the goal of realizing cell-rejuvenating programming to 'reverse' disease and injury, says it is committed to helping as many people as possible.
However, this promise may not be kept. Because of the high cost, anti-old technology may only be enjoyed by the wealthy in the future.
