Why hasn't that billionaire mong who takes 60 supplements a day to prolong his life simply made a plasmid capable of inserting telomerase-producing genes into his DNA?

Any biofag wants to chime in? Could it work, in theory?

because telomere length is a poor predictor of longevity in humans

We do ave the genes, the telomeres get shortened probably because of the lack of arsenic.

I'm sure artificially extending your telomeres cannot possibly have any negative repercussions.

90% of cancers have active telomerase, and mice have longer telomeres than humans yet only live 3-5 years in captivity.
There is no evidence that it directly increases lifespan, merely the observation that older humans tend to have longer telomeres.

because it doesn't work, like at all. telomeres being linked to aging is a scam research. trannies even got a Nobel prize for it. they spent a fuck ton of money on it as well. tell you all you know about the fraud science.
