discuss Longevity technology

[Oshawott]

I have been reading a book named 'Why do we die' by Venki Ramakrishnan, who is a nobel laurate.

The book has the following ideas to put forward:

1. messing with longevity is dangerous
2. Most therapies including antioxidants are marketing scams
3. The ideas that has worked in experiments includes a drug called RAPAMYCIN and the transfusion of blood of young individuals.

What are your thoughts on longevity technologies? Even if its in experimental stages, would you try one such technology?

I don't think there is any need to run from pillar to post trying to secure longevity. With simple healthy living, we can achieve longevity. It is people that didn't care about healthy living in their younger days that run around looking for longevity. I know many 55 year old that look mid thirties with healthy living alone.

I should agree with this.

The book that I was reading mentions a compelling conclusion - the only proved method for longevity is - eat good food, mostly plant, good exercise and sleep.

Humans pursue longevity by ignoring the three main factors that is mentioned above. Spend the moeny for all that rather than some drugs which doesnt work anyway.

Why do we die? Who doesn't know why we die? We all die because we are human being. It's a debt everyone owes. When it's your time to go, there's no amount of technology that will stop it.
