Some wild speculations about the future potential of gene therapy:

→ Remove scarcity genes, e.g., no urge to eat junk food
→ Require little to no sleep
→ Require little to no exercise to stay fit, e.g., via myostatin inhibition
→ Enhance the immune system
→ Flush out compounds on demand, e.g., caffeine

Excited to see how follistatin goes. BJ and others trying it already. Seems like the closest one that could be big - 30% lifespan extension in mice.
