Frailty can be eased with an infusion of stem cells from young people (www.newscientist.com)

This is cool in the abstract, on our timeline though?...

“My other thought is how difficult it is to obtain stem cells from volunteers. There would need to be a lot of volunteers to treat everyone with frailty.”

Gonna be a LOT of "volunteers" for rich people I suspect.

Thanks homie!

After reading this, I really don't buy it. I think this is ai slop because under the most minimal of intellectual scrutiny, it falls completely apart. You can't take someone's else's DNA, mix it with yours and expect shit to be hunky dorey. Even in bone marrow transplant, they first kill ALL your marrow cells, and let the donor's repopulate. And you have to be under constant medical supervision for some time after and then have to take immuno suppressants for-ev-er.

So I'm not buying this. Unfortunately, I'm sure some rich fuck is gonna try it anyways. I remember reading about some billionaire who literally uses his kid like a meatbag from mad Max.
