my background in biochemistry makes me think it's almost guaranteed to be impossible, so i don't worry about it.
however, in hypothetical case it isn't, i'd argue that it would be proper to destroy this technology in all cases along with inventors, because it would be horridly expensive initially, and first people to get it would be people like peter thiel and larry ellison. there was a recording where putin and xi admitted that they are also interested. then what you'll get would be class of immortal oligarchs. planck once said, progress in physics happens one funeral at a time, it's really more general than just physics, and you can say goodbye to any progress from that point on
Part of rejuvenation is rejuvenating brain to keep its youthful plasticity.
thiel isn't funding unlicensed drug trials for longevity/immortality just so that he'll become more progressive in the process
with 200, 300 year old oligarchs values they grew up with are gonna stay influential much longer
For the record, i just intend to outlive my enemies
