New Hot Technology For Aging Silicon Valley Types: Anti-Aging

from the spending-money-to-live-longer dept

An article looking at how Larry Ellison (mostly) and a few others in Silicon Valley are putting a lot of money into anti-aging. Ellison is apparently trying to figure out a way to live forever. I'm all for this. The longer Ellison stays alive, the more bizarres stories about him we'll have to post. Plus, it would be kinda cool if some of the anti-aging stuff trickled down to the masses. I wouldn't mind living forever.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

    Damming the population supply

    Articles concerning age reserach always seem to neglect the fact that if people live forever and have children as well, the world will QUICKLY become uncomforatably crowded.

    Is this a technology that should be released?

      Re: Damming the population supply

      The world would become over-crowded only if people decided to have more kids than the number that died from accidents on average. Of course that is an entirely plausible assumption, but it is still just an assumption. You could as easily assume people would have 1 kid only and that a high enough accident rate might actually cause population to decline. Anyway, these are all just assumptions. One thing is for certain, cars would become a lot safer as people would demand better protection from the certain death associated with them.

      And I wouldn't waste too much effort trying to control ("released?") this technology. If it is possible, it will be developed, here or elsewhere.
