Reply to comment by Mokebe890 in This biotech startup says mice live longer after genetic reprogramming by ChickenTeriyakiBoy1

yes i didn't mean to. they DOUBLED their remaining life. Would be ideal if they doubled overall life exp. And we don't know what would happened if they intervened earlier

Excatly, just one step at time, remaining life, early life, overall life, its matter of changing the public opinion.

Would be curious if whatever their cause of death received the same reprogramming or not. Simply removing one cause of age related death doesn't prolong life long since something else is normally close behind, you have to nearly do a full body reprogram which is far harder.

It will be interesting to learn more about the study.
