If you can't defeat death, what if you could postpone it, or at least postpone the diseases commonly associated with getting old? Many people, especially the ultra-wealthy in Silicon Valley, are investing money into companies trying to answer exactly those questions. Watch the video to learn more.

There are a slew of other companies tackling aging, including BioAge, BioViva, The Longevity Fund, AgeX and the Methuselah Foundation.

"Whenever you meet a fundamental human need, there's a market," said Michael West, a gerontologist and CEO of. "And in this case, the market for age-related disease and aging is a trillion dollar market." But people claiming to know what you ought to do to live longer isn't anything new. Historically, as is still the case today, a lot of it just doesn't work. So what's real? And what's just wishful thinking?

Yes because everyone tries to outrun their mortality. None of us make it out alive.

Reality is Atheist and Death is an artifact of Earth's deficit of Science and Intelligence.

Reversing age doesn't make sense , however ageing can be slow down

Figures..too bad their not spending money on sick or hungry kids instead of themselves

I am all for anti- aging as long as I don't look as awful as Lauren Sanchez. You would think with Jeff Bezos' money he would get better plastic surgery for this Housewife wannabe? They are an absolutely gross looking couple.

This looks like the starting plot of a Bond Movie

God has a plan to reverse aging. It is the ONLY plan that will work. Guaranteed. Or your money back.

Nope when it’s your time to go you dead👹👹👹

Adrenochrome.

NO

No

Not going to work! save capital & rid all diseases correlated to aging! There may be cosmetic breakthroughs but it won't improve upon what nature has already solved regarding this issue. Impregnation is nature's solution! First, must conquer genetic code! D. Phillip,PhD,M.D.

Creepy weirdos 🤡

Probably not. Billions have been contributed to cancer research for decades with little success.

They'll go into space, take advantage of time dilation and return in 2000 years to reap the benefits of science and eternal life.

Sorry yo, that would be needing to live on an exoplanet that revolves around its star in 40 years, so every 40 years would be like 1 year, that being said that planets system and timing I'm thought would be completely different as everything else, if you can even make it there

To bad they agent investing in poor communities.

October 27, 1966 Star Trek. The Enterprise discovers another Earth where life prolongation experiments killed everyone except the children. They got the disease entering puberty. Was Star Trek strictly Science Fiction or a possible prediction of our future? Uncanny.

During Obama's reign the FDA made a stunning move which classified aging as a disease opening the door to pharm companies to develop drugs to treat it. If one thing can stop aging, it is the mighty private sector of the US. aging healthcare Health

Aging is on a cellular level. Your cellular proteins degrade over time. Maybe if you took stem cells/etc. early on and stored it then that could be used. You could inject stem cells in every area and let them replicate. Things that can slow aging is diet,exercise, no sun burns.

No. There is one thing that poor and ultra rich, we all have in common. We are mortal. We all age. And nothing can be done about it. So even if you are ultra rich the death 💀 is coming 4 u. 😉

Have you seen Dr who?

No. Arteries. Tiny ones in the brain.

Testosterone and HGH are a good start. 😉

No but many of them do get weirder and weirder looking

NO. 👎

tennisgalarneau find those companies sonn

They should try the Ted Williams plan. Frozen head

No.

chrissyfarr A story without mentioning PeterAttiaMD’s more realistic approach to longevity seems incomplete.

The secret has already been revealed

Ending age related diseases, or aging, whatever you want to call it, will save governments trillions of dollars a year. Rich maybe funding it but they won’t be the only ones gettting the benefits - govts will ensure these therapies are available to the general public in time

Try embalming like Cher.

Is Bezos an alien? I hope they don't all look like him!!!

Its a matter of time, no pun intended

The answer is no. The human race does not have the technology to do this and the human race should not go this path for the next 600 millennia at minimum.

Ahhhhhh....the one thing that puts them on a level playing field with us peasants.

When the rich learn to live forever this world is doomed

chrissyfarr No

chrissyfarr Yes! Dr Gundry’s is working for me!!!

Damn the super rich just don't want to die at all....live rich forever huh lol....become a robotic human 💯🤷‍♂️😂

When you are very rich and healthy you wish you could live forever I guess. Because you have money for a thousand years in your bank account. Guess what : you are gonna die like the poorest man on earth. Ah ah ah ah.

Yep, it's called cannabis, because you're only as old as you feel.

Eliminate stress, reduce aging. Reversion is a pipe dream.

No

It better fucking work

Socrates would say they should study philosophy instead, as it is a “preparation for death.”

Heb 9:27And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment. NO!

You just need to marry someone 20-30 years your age when you get to that level 60+. That’s how you reverse aging. Lol

lorakolodny Partly, it will make those company's CEOs have a lesuirly hopefully longer lifespan...

They always end up experimenting with embryos & fetuses. Already high end beauty products & high end vaccines contain fetal cells.

lorakolodny What a great market to get into

I sure hope so!

I hope not. We’re supposed to age. Spend that money on helping sick kids.

We rule the world

No, father time is undefeated.

Focuse on the Good..

*Looks at Jennifer Lopez* Yup.

If I get 1 billion in my bank account I will already loose 15 yrs ...

Ask the pharaohs and Romans how seeking eternal youth worked out. 😂 No, they're gonna die just like everyone else, but they'll look freakier thanks to all the bogus 'treatments'.
