Do you think the cure will be found within our lifetime?

this will never happen, unless illegally. No government would ever pass laws that allow genetic engineering at the developmental level for cosmetic purposes. At least, I hope not.

That being said - if altering the DNA of your future child to prevent Androgenetic Alopecia was an option, who here would actually do that? I could never do anything like that.

Im gonna start a sperm bank and ovary center for just gorgeous people! I honestly think with today's society it would panned in the public while secretly EVERYONE would want to have an attractive child. I would make a MINT!

hahahaha... awesome man! yup, society has become increasingly shallow and it's sad. Hopefully we will have a spiritual revolution in the next couple hundred years and humans will become less obsessed with physical appearance.

I'm positive about it. Nothing is impossible especially nowadays. There could be a cure even to the most dreaded disease. Modern science has been very eager in finding out the most effective treatments.

I was just watching some ridiculous show about what multi billionaires do with their money. One spent millions extracting and repeatedly injecting himself with embryonic stem cells. I have this strong gut feeling that if one of them were to invest billions into hair loss research, the cure would be here already... money solves everything apparently.

The anecdote you give sounds like billionaires would invest more in snake oils.

A vaccine to kill the bacteria that causes tooth decay and gum disease is possible. This would affect every single human of every age on this planet and will cause all of us to stop going to the dentist. The economical implications would be astronomical. Yet we don't even have this and killing bacteria is much easier than regrowing hair follicles so I think a hair loss cure is very very far away.

Looks like we'll get fully functioning hearts before we get a follicle:

LOL, isn't that sad to think about... yeah, they got a whole damn heart working out of stem cells, but a follicle is still out of reach.
