Human Rapamycin Longevity Clinical Trials Begin
Is this physical or mental longevity, or both? It would be awful if you had the body of a 25 year old with the mind of a 95 year old (forgetful, slow, dementia, Alzheimer’s). Those things that take older people quickly are much longer battles for “healthy” bodies.<p>I am in my early 30’s, but my view right now is that I will live in the time I was born into and take reasonable steps to be healthy for a long life. I hope I get 60 more years with my wife, but when it is my time, it is my time, and I will accept that I have used the time and resources I was given.<p>Jason Isbell’s song “vampires” comes to mind. Part of what makes life “life” is death. And spending too much excess time and energy (one’s life) on expanding future life is… trading life for life. But likely missing time with family and friends who likely won’t get to live until they are 160.
