It might actually be possible to take that guy seriously if his beard didn't constitute half his body mass.

The US government has invested over $200,000,000,000 in cancer research over the past 20 years.

And I recently saw a chart that showed that the death rate from cancer is exactly the same as it was in 1950.

And with cancer we know exactly how the disease works, but the problem is there is always something else going on, or there is never a way to use current technology to defeat it.

With aging we know almost nothing about it, and yet this guy thinks that he can solve it with a billion dollars. LOL.

The anti-aging community needs to stop wasting time with ridiculous stuff that is 100+ years off, and focus on making crypreservation a robust technology.

As pessimistic as I am, I can see how the medical field is becoming an information technology and may experience exponential growth in the next 20 years. Albeit we know maybe 0.1% of how the body works (each cell is like its own computer developed over years of environmental factors we know virtually nothing about), I'll bet that society may realize regenerative medicine is important enough to push for.

>I can see how the medical field is becoming an information technology

what the fuck are you even talking about? your post the fact that the US has spent $200 B on cancer research in the last 20 years, and we have accomplished nothing, essentially.

It also has not refuted the fact that it costs a drug company about $800 million to develop one new drug.

How the fuck do you expect us to essentially solve every single problem at a celllar level, in the next 30 years with almost no funding.

PERFECTING CRYOPRESEVERATION IS THE FUCKING WAY TO GO.

Why would you want to cure cancer, it's far more profitable to treat it.
