Perhaps the science will advance so that telomere reconstitution is a practical reality, that the DNA epigenetic changes can be reversed, that senescent cells can be eradicated, that the free radical damage to mitochondria can be dismantled, that the microbiome can be altered back to a youthful status.

Every now and then I see an embrace. But this is rare.
My plan is to embrace and to live forever or die trying.
