My point is there's nothing reserved for the Billionaires, Multimillionaires. Which is what most people think of when we talk about gene editing/longevity therapies in the future.

Yeah the people in poor countries will probably never afford it because they already lack basic Healthcare level unfortunately.

But alot of people in this sub act as if new advances in therapy will be only for Billionaires.

Hmm, alright, I certainly expect gene editing therapies to be available to a much wider audience than billionaires - even if they tried to avoid it someone somewhere would be open to making money by offering it to the merely wealthy instead of the obscenely wealthy.
