    Technically DIY gene therapy already exists. You probably can’t afford to do it working at McDonalds if you pay rent, but it’s something.

    But yeah, there isn’t any real reverse-aging tech, yet. Not until that lobster scientist figures out how to extend telomeres, the stem cell dudes figure out how to regenerate entire organs, and the CRISPER dudes invent a way for the cascade proteins to target degraded or virus-alterred DNA regularly. Even then, humans aren’t really built to live past reproductive ages, even a perfect genetic condition would accumulate tissues in all the wrong places.

    I think what the world truly needs is lower total populations only achievable via education and empowerment of young men and women. Mostly women. Especially the empowerment part.
