Drug extends animal lifespan by a whopping 25%

I am going to be that guy who says - do we need to extend lifespans by 25%? Who is actually asking for that? If people don’t eventually die we are left with a planet bursting at the seams, further accelerating environmental catastrophe and degrading the quality of life that most would experience.

We could probably increase average lifespans by more than 25% just by stopping the rich from hoarding food and shelter and forcing the rest of us to live with the consequences of their excess. We could end the systemically racist practices that stick pollution next to minorities and force them into hazardous occupations.
