Aging Research and Ethical Concerns

But what happens during aging, uh, a friend of mine, Steve Horvath,

discovered

that you can use this as a clock. These chemicals, they change over time,

and

we found that that happens largely due to DNA damage, going in the sun,

these kind of things. We could use this to rapidly age a mouse,

um, which we published in twenty twenty-three.

Oh, so like maybe like some nefarious state

actor, like

some Russian spy could like inject something in your coffee and

you would turn ninety-nine overnight?

We know how to do that.

Whoa.

Yeah.

That's the dark side of this.

It is.

You could, you could spike your husband's drink,

fuck that dude, and turn him into

an old man.

Yeah.

Ah, what did you do?

Then you'd suffer. Yeah.
