"trial participants will be enrolled... after paying $1 million."

And I'm guessing they won't get paid any compensation or support for any side effects that occur.

It'll be interesting to see how it works.

Will the additional years of life be that of good health, or will other diseases of old age, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, cancer, macular degeneration, etc., continue to develop at the regular rate?

Best of luck to them.

I was a bit disappointed when I first saw the clinical trials entry some time ago thinking it would taint Gene Therapy development and then seeing the price tag now and having consent done in Colombia doesn't exactly help matters....

I have no ideas if the treatment will work but I've seen several journal articles implicating short Telomerase with certain diseases. Since I follow IPF that is one I've often come across though I don't believe it is known why there is this association.
