Will Stem cell therapy ever help me remember where my keys are?

Yes. All the important breakthroughs are going to have their roots in Parkinson's, ALS, Huntington's, and Type 1 Diabetes research.

I started my neuroscience career working on Parkinson's using stem cells as the treatment. This is one of the technologies we'll need this century.
 
Stem cell therapy is a bit like nanotechnology - it has a lot of potential in many fields but it won't solve all the problems as easy as some would like it to.
Stem cell research profits a lot from "conventional" gene tech like cirpser/cas.
Stem cells therapy can also have some moral issues - esp. if non adult cells of foetuses are used.
There are big challenges but if disseases like cancer, Parkinson, diabetes, MS, adipositas and so on can be treated life expectancy will keep on rising in western societies.

No Stem cells will help you get better Boners and sexual stamina
Only after the US gets its Boner stem cell breakthrough will medical science be allowed to develop stem cells for other less important medical breakthroughs /s

Iam hoping for longevity medicines from stem cells as they have regeneration properties
Between this and DNA breakthroughs medical science is advancing at an amazing pace

:clap: Thank you, El!

It was my favorite thing. Sadly, when you work, you need to chase the money. I was never able to get back in. Any other assistance I gave to those types of projects were merely in the form of mentorship. The immortalist in my supports those charities, but my belly needs to eat. So, I work on what I get paid to work on.

We worked for easily named Parkinson's research charities, though. Michael J Fox Foundation gave us money to work with. The local Parkinson's Disease chapters.

While i am sure you are good at what you do, i am a bit frightened by this, given your transhumanist views :D
 
I am all for transhumanism. But even more for posthumanism.
 
Aging is a source of debilitating. Death isn't an illness. I'm anti-aging. The anti-death is an extrapolation of normal instincts

I'm sad that after being here for years, and important position of mine can be missummazired sof effectively in one sentence

I am more worried due to the shadowy attached goal of viewing human death as an illness ^^
I see it more like a setback. In any case it should not be mandatory.
 
Why? That would be a nice revolt. Better to revolt to reach immortality than to revolt to reach communism, freedom, democracy or any other silly abstract ideal.
 
Is that because living forever is a selfish human ideology unlike the others in the list?
 
Living forever is neither an ideology nor selfish (given it is accessible to everybody)
