This year I have lost dear relatives and a long-term friend. This is not going to be a blog about my feelings of grief, because nobody wants to read that. We have all lost loved ones and have to deal with the grief in our own way and in our own time.
I am interested in those who are using their wealth to research extending their lives beyond the usual expiry date. How exactly would that work?
If they wait until their bodies are very old their vital organs would struggle to keep functioning properly for an extended period. If they decide to implement some radical new medical procedure to replace the parts that are wearing out, isn’t that a bit risky?
Multiple organ transplants do not have a high success rate. Cryogenic preservation relies on a belief that future science will have the answers to present incurable medical conditions. So what are these billionaires hoping for?
Maybe the cure they seek is to the terrible ailment of too much is never enough
