Would be great to see anti-aging research investigated in more details. On one hand, many people in and around ratiosphere seem to believe we’re about to see some tangible progress in slowing aging in humans soon (decade or two), see e.g. this great post by JackH recently. On the other hand, other people in this sphere and also in biotech argue that we’re quite a distance away from the point where dedicated anti-aging research makes sense and for now focus should be on fundamental biology. I’d be happy to see up-to-date evidence for these two positions evaluated side by side.
And as a potentially separate tread(s) of thoughts, what the ramifications of each being true would be for people interested in the general area of not dying, how it can affect one’s lifestyle, donations, career choices etc.
