Only insane billionaires plan for that.

I'm not looking to live forever. Just another 40 to 50 years as long as I'm healthy. Only plan for that is to eat somewhat healthy and get a couple hours of cardio and strength training in a few times a week. Nothing obsurd just enough to maintain strength as I age and get the heart pumping.

There are treatments in development to keep you healthy much longer that currently.

That is totally OK. You don't, others do. You have no obligation to use them 👍

you might end up like ray kurzweil, aging no matter what despite 300 pills popped every day

[–] kubofhromoslav@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Those treatments are in development. Not is use yet. The intention is to periodically reverse aging to shift it to many years younger state. Then repeat after some time.

no serious pharma company tries to do that, it's all high proof uncut transhumanist nonsense, served by crackpots, feeding on old scifi and rooted in the same impulse that driven alchemists in search of immortality

i'm of course not gonna stop you from believing in anything, do what you want
