mice are not humans, you don't think that a 60-year-old man will go back to his 20-year-old age
Obviously their two different species. But I'm pretty sure the 2nd richest man in the world (Jeff Bezos) and one of the richest tech Billionaires (Yuri Milner) has access to exponentially more information from the best scientists in the world than you. They wouldn't invest in something unless they knew for almost certain that it would be possible.
If you don't know who Yuri Milner is, I suggest you research him.
"Russia's most influential tech investor, Yuri Milner was an early backer of Facebook and Twitter through his venture fund, DST Global.
Milner sold those stakes and later invested in Spotify and Airbnb.
Milner also bet big on Chinese tech companies, including online retailers Alibaba and JD. Com, and mobile phone maker Xiaomi.
A former physicist, Milner is a cofounder of the Breakthrough Prize, which rewards top scientists with lucrative prizes and a glitzy awards ceremony."
" Milner is a Russian-born billionaire who made a fortune on Facebook and Mail.ru and previously started the glitzy black-tie Breakthrough Prizes, $3 million awards given each year to outstanding physicists, biologists, and mathematicians."
Also, Jeff Bezos started his own space company Blue Origin and has gone into space before Elon Musk - sure SpaceX tech is ahead, but at least Bezos speed of implementation can be applauded for beating Musk in that regard.
These 2 multi-billionaires combined money and resources are highly probable more than anyone else to achieve longevity in humans. And they wouldn't have invested in this if they didn't have a strong possibility of success.
They already recruited many of the best in the world researchers, scientists, professors, PHD's:
"Among the scientists said to be joining Altos are Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte, a Spanish biologist at the Salk Institute, in La Jolla, California, who has won notoriety for research mixing human and monkey embryos and who has predicted that human lifespans could be increased by 50 years.
Also joining is Steve Horvath, a UCLA professor and developer of a “biological clock” that can accurately measure human aging. Shinya Yamanaka, who shared a 2012 Nobel Prize for the discovery of reprogramming, will be an unpaid senior scientist and will chair the company’s scientific advisory board.
Yamanaka’s breakthrough discovery was that with the addition of just four proteins, now known as Yamanaka factors, cells can be instructed to revert to a primitive state with the properties of embryonic stem cells. By 2016, Izpisúa Belmonte’s lab had applied these factors to entire living mice, achieving signs of age reversal and leading him to term reprogramming a potential “elixir of life.”
These are not your Average Joe's getting into this. Neither will they have the issue of needing funding like most treatments in the pipeline have difficulty with which are often the reasons for much delays.
Also:
"A number of startups are pursuing reprogramming technology, including Life Biosciences, Turn Biotechnologies, AgeX Therapeutics, and Shift Bioscience in the UK."
“There are hundreds of millions of dollars being raised by investors to invest in reprogramming, specifically aimed at rejuvenating parts or all of the human body,” says David Sinclair, a researcher at Harvard University who last December reported restoring sight to mice using the technique"
I'd say interesting things are ahead lads.
