Last fall the conference called COSM hosted a discussion about anti-aging technologies. Hopeful CEO's of companies researching these technologies, as well as a neuroscientist, defined their goals.
They believe it will be possible to mitigate age-related decline, maybe to the point that death could be "elective."
Here's what drives their work forward:
- They're making "genetic medicines for health and longevity" which disassemble damaged cells when they don't self-destruct as they're supposed to ("senescent").
- "Instead of making a drug and injecting it, we program [the patient's] own cells to produce remedies inside them, trying to build an app store for the human body."
