There's employment issues.
Though I will say that the disaster scenario that often comes to mind when I talk about this, and which I covered in the last part of my book, Lifespan, is actually economically hugely advantageous to slow aging and prevent diseases.
A lot of the U.S.
economy and most advanced economies goes to health care.
And chronic disease, a lot of people are sick for five to ten years.
That's where most of people's savings and retirement and government money goes in, the most expensive years of your life for the last two years.
If you can delay that...
it's going to have massively positive economic benefits to a nation that adopts these medicines.
I don't think you can put a price on being young.
Another way of putting it, and I've seen this on social media, for a billion dollars, would you swap with Warren Buffett?
Right.
So there's no money in the world that you want to be old, right?
Yeah.
It's not worth it.
In other words, youth is more valuable than a billion dollars.
It may be the most valuable thing you could ever have, is your youth.
Yeah, one year maybe, but not 10 years, right?
10 years is super.
I totally agree with you.
