And there are a couple of things that people said to us fairly consistently, is that they don't come across many people who want to live to 150.
What people want is to live a long time in really good health.
And if that's longer than they otherwise would have, that's all the better, as long as they're in good health.
Speaking personally, I'm in the camp, probably like you, where I'll take what I get.
If I can get a few years longer, great, as long as it's in good health.
Yeah, there's nothing like having a powerful personality, maybe a dose of narcissism.
No idea whether Xi Jinping's got that or Vladimir Putin.
One suspects maybe one of them does.
To think that the world could not survive without you, therefore going to 150 is a really good idea.
Oh, we're getting down to facts now, are we, Sam?
That's a really good idea.
Well, they are promised to live longer, healthier.
So they're in the healthspan business.
But I needed to have my biological age done for the program because there are a couple of quite reliable or repeatable tests that you can have done to take your biological age.
And the only way you can have it done in Australia is actually through this particular company that's got the license from the United States.
So they very kindly agreed to expedite this test.
And they said to me, well, while you're here, why don't you take our full service?
And the full service is...
full medical history, lots of blood tests, and then they give you your feedback based on your results.
So I did get my biological age done, and it was good news.
