    BioViva FIJI - First Clinic to Treat Aging

    It's a start. Anyone got a million bucks to treat aging?

    https://www.fightaging.org/archives/...-with-bioviva/

    "Sierra Sciences and BioViva - Liz Parrish - have now joined forces. We have started a new company, called BioViva Fiji, on Fiji island, and we are now building a large-scale production facility and a clinic to soon be able to provide a gene therapy approach towards curing aging."
    Fiji, like many countries in the Asia-Pacific region, has been taking steps in recent years to make itself attractive as a destination for medical tourism, and thereby encourage the growth of high-end local industries that benefit from the wealth of larger and more prosperous countries. It makes a lot of sense as a long-term plan, and competition between regions for medical tourism will hopefully prevent these countries from falling into the overregulated repression of medical development found in the US and Europe, a state of affairs that slows development and that gave rise to medical tourism in the first place. Fiji is the destination for this particular effort, but it could equally have been any of a number of other choices.

    It should have been TAHITI. TAHITI is a wonderful place.
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    BioViva hasn't done any controlled tests or published any of the supposed 'confirmations' of their single dubious test, so I'd take their claims with a bucket of salt.

    Well, after the eruption, I'd have to put the sheep on stilts. Might be a decent place for a hotdog stand though.

    When you factor in things like cost, and time it takes for approval, it will really take till 2030. Also those early adopters won't exactly get the best stuff. Once it's been perfected and cheaper, we'll get much better versions of the therapies.

    Would it even be worth immortality if it meant working some shitty job for the rest of time?

    Yeah, wouldn't it be amazing if mega rich corporate parasites and corrupt politicians could stay youthful and live forever?

    The people who could afford it probably aren't working shitty jobs.

    I don't post that often, and when I do it's often in bursts. I always lurk though.

    It's not for everyone anyway. You need deep pockets.

    I've done a lot of thinking and i'm pretty sure that aging and even dying is essential to life. I have a suspicion that we'll learn quite soon that being conscious beyond a certain age begins to cause madness and mental breakdown.

    They sure aren't the first to sell snake oil, though.
