If you think anyone but the elite will be able to afford or procure these procedures, you're incredibly optimistic.
As soon as it gets approved, some shitty corporation will purchase the patent and lock it behind a paywall for 80+ year old geriatrics with zero fucks given towards people who actually deserve or need it.
“Everything sucks.”
Boring.
So… anywhere but the USA it will be affordable(ie free) anyways? Okay.
Bremonia will have the procedures, for free. The name can be changed, I don't care. I just need help overthrowing a few corrupt governments and I'm out.
This drug can be delivered via pill. It has a range of effects in reversing age related damage.
I'm not sure if it will be kept to the rich, or given out widely to justify the removal of social security, or at least jacking up the retirement age.
Maybe, but if PGE2 signaling is disrupted in non-cartilage tissues, it could promote abnormal growth or inflammation. For example, PGE2 has complex roles in cancer and fibrosis. And if the drug isn’t perfectly specific, it might inhibit other enzymes or pathways. This is because 15-PGDH is active in other tissues (e.g., liver, muscle, bone). Inhibiting it systemically might affect these tissues, though the study suggests localized joint injection could minimize this I suppose...
If the worker-slaves live longer, you don't have to indoctrinate & capture new ones quite as often!
I'd like my partners knees to work again so they can do the things they like as they age, like riding bikes or hiking.
I'd like my partner's knees to work again so they can do something I like. On their knees. To me.
There's also some riding somewhere in there I suppose.
Lol Yankee problems
I'm not a Yankee, but thanks for assuming
You're an American, that's what Yankee means to everybody outside the states.
Are you seriously also down here saying racist shit to a Native American so that you can roleplay some flex on what you thought was just some poor USAmerican who couldn't afford healthcare? Your good guy scenario was dunking on a poor person in an authoritarian state?
Europeans are seriously the most bloodthirsty fucks I'll see online, and they're predictably the most smug about it too.
I have no idea what you're trying to say. Are you saying he's NOT an American because he's indigenous? And wtf is racist? At least now I know what his comment means. You people think everybody knows the same things you do.
(I'm Asian BTW, but yeah go on)
Oh but how dare you be Asian when you were already assigned European at post /s
Hey, dummy, what do you think settler-colonial means?
"It isn't racist to call a Native American a 'yank' because I'm ignorant about racism." You're telling me that you moderate a Norwegian community, talk a shit ton about Euro nations, but you think it doesn't make you look like a racist asshole to not know what is racist about trying to dunk on an indigenous person (who, again, you thought was just some other poor person) by calling them a term that identifies them with the occupying settler state that has committed genocide against their people.
Yeah dude, totally not a bloodthirsty chud.

Again with the Americentrism defaultism. You think that just because some people in your country use it as an insult or whatever, it must be true worldwide.
Would you like to explain how I was 'dunking' on an indigenous person when my statement was nothing more than explaining what Yankee means to the average non-American?
Dude, that's your internal history. What makes you think any non American gives a shit about it?
I'll be frank, I still have no freaking idea what your problem is.
I'm old school American
