Plan of Action
Gene therapy to slow down the body's programmed rate of aging
upregulating of p53
study genomes of mammals that do not die of heart disease, cancer, and brain degeneration
short term: we need to collect accurate statistics on the causes of deaths of wild animals, lab animals, and humans. It is crazy that we do not do autopsies on every older person that dies. Something is killing every 80 yo and no one is even investigating. When "heart disease" is recorded as the cause of death, does the patient even have a serious history of heart disease? Once accurate statistics on human causes of death are found, find animals that do not die from these causes and study how they do it. If we can make goldfish glow with jellyfish genes then we can make humans resist cancer with bowhead whale genes.
Turn back the body's aging clock, ie mimic the transcriptome of my 40 yo body when I am 60 y0
10 years to completely map out transcriptome. Then 20 years to replicate it. Need to determine if the body indeed has an aging clock, on what level it operates, and if it is possible to fool it.
