Two speakers describe how longevity companies have exploded in the last five years, turning science fiction into reality. Interventions that seemed impossible are now targeting aging itself, not just disease, with the potential to add healthy years to human life.
Even to me, as somebody who's covered longevity for a long time in different shapes and forms, it felt like something changed 5 years ago where you had this new breed of longevity companies appearing.
I mean, this is the time to do science fiction in biology. For the first time, it's not science fiction anymore and it's real. And we're really at the frontier of being able to massively impact human health beyond just diseases, like impacting aging itself. Not everyone is born with the same set of circumstances, and to be able to give people more years of happy, healthy life with their families and with their professional work and all these things is just so meaningful.
