Even if this study works on dogs, even if there proves to be an application on human beings, any resultant therapy – that allows you to extend human lifespan or reverse human age will be exhaust and outlandishly expensive. So expensive that it will only be available to guys like Jeffrey Epstein, right?

In response to Dr. Church's claims about age reversal, science historian Nathaniel Comfort noted, lengthening the lives of rich Westerners, the obvious customers, would be the biggest ecological crime since Standard Oil. It's hard to argue with that. That's true. Yeah. That's pretty fair. Obviously, that doesn't mean we wouldn't do it. There's two separate questions. Is this ethical? No.

Is this possible? Also, so far, no, right? That said, I should note that the ethics of this are not a topic that Church ignores. There's a whole other CBS article I found where he talks about genetic equality and emphasizes the fact that he keeps an ethicist on staff. Quote, he does not want to see a world in which big advances in genetic engineering are available only to those who can afford it.

He considers equality both when manipulating genes for therapy, like correcting genetic defects to cure genetic diseases, and for enhancement, augmenting genes beyond what is normal. But, like, it doesn't mean anything. Like, for one thing, the pharmaceutical companies that buy this from you are going to set the prices, right? They'll pay you off.

That's probably a fair point, too. And it's also hard for me to square this statement that, like, well, I really, I don't want, you know, there to be genetic, you know, bias. I want everyone to have access to these wonderful things we're definitely going to be able to do.

His claims that that's what he wants are hard for me to square with other statements he has made, saying, like, that I quoted earlier, where he's like, hey, man, it's just my job to figure out what we can do, right? Whatever society's fine with is, you know, what's right, right?

It's not my business. It's a very Werner Von Braun. When the rockets go up, who knows where they come down? That's not my department, says Werner Von Braun.
