Aging Research and Ethical Concerns

But what happens during aging,

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,

which we published in 2023.

Oh, so maybe some nefarious state actor,

like some Russian spy, could inject something in your coffee

and you would turn 99 overnight?

We know how to do that.

Whoa, that's the dark side of this.

You could spike your husband's drink,

fuck that dude,

and turn him into an old man.

Hey, what did you do?
