Reply to comment by DrImNotFukingSelling in Which medical specialty will deal with immortality? by MeronDC

Gerontology is about the elderly, but the whole area has only been about studying the aging process and managing problems. No wise guy or lady to my knowledge has stood up and said let's approach as an engineering problem and fix it.

That’s the immortality paradox. You have to know where we are to begin a systematic physiological evaluation of all disciplines needed to solve this problem.

Lol, as much as I’d love to see this evolve, it will be a 1%er fad for a century at least if not longer and they have the ego to live forever if they don’t kill themselves first. Common folk won’t be part of the plan after trials are complete.
