will we be around to benefit from it given at least my age?
The mythical one-eyed cyclops were cursed with the exact day and time of their death. Even our universe has been given a theoretical end time for its destruction that I expect will be revised.
I prefer to think about the wonderful possibilities headlined by the imminent proof of a cure for blindness.
My wife, who is 7 years younger than I, has become badly crippled with arthritis claimed to be osteoarthritis without a precise diagnosis. Our dog has miraculously left her deathbed with a "cure" for ostensibly that may be applicable to humans.
The "cure" is a new drug that keeps the joints lubricated while steroids and NSAIDS restrict the lubrication. All that is known for now is that it is a wonder drug, at least temporarily, for some dogs.
While we desperately look forward to eventual approval of such a drug for humans, AgeX proposes development of a multitude of such drugs and treatments.
A full life beats even a long life in my humble opinion.
