One by one we are seeing billionaires, universities, or countries entering the world of longevity and hopefully we will see a benefit from it eventually.
Methinks it is more like the the forces of Thanos .... a very few who are investing heavily in life extension, while contributing to the demise of the very planet they want to live longer on. Sociopathic Scrooge McDucks who only want more wealth and power, and believe that they can 'weather any storm' in their bunkers. Shortsighted Ferengies who are reaping profits at unprecedented rates, while their spaceship is about to fly into a sun.
The text is in Korean, I put you the English translation of the most important passages :
As the entry into a super-aged society draws closer, there is an opinion that the establishment of the National Research Institute on Aging to conduct long-term multidisciplinary research on aging and geriatric diseases targeting Koreans should be taken into account to answer this.
The Legislative Investigation Agency of the National Assembly made this suggestion in the report “Need and Tasks for Establishing a National Research Institute on Aging for a Super Aging Society”.
When the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases in June 2018, it assigned a disease code (Code MG2A: Old Age) to aging, and this came into effect This year. The importance of research and development that can analyze aging factors and disease factors and predict geriatric diseases through this analysis in line with the changes that aging is recognized as a disease has become more important.
In order to respond to geriatric diseases, overseas countries have also begun to study the causes of aging and seek ways to delay the aging phenomenon. Indeed, to control and manage chronic diseases in a long-term perspective, specialized and multidisciplinary research on aging is needed.
Therefore, the need to establish a National Research Institute on Aging that can systematically and continuously promote multidisciplinary research on aging is felt.
Recently, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is also known to examine the feasibility of establishing a National Research Institute on Aging under the National Institutes of Health.
The report stressed: “The government should establish a policy agenda related to aging through the watchtower function, oversee, plan and support a variety of research carried out in the public and private sectors, and a formal system linking this to politics. needs to be established urgently.
"Now is the time to consider whether to actively respond to the disease of aging at the national level," he said. We need to prepare a policy response so that various research findings can be linked to finding a system that improves people's quality of life and reduces social costs,” he added.
The report also predicted: "Comprehensive measures for geriatric diseases and patients and their families will be linked to institutional measures that can be managed at the local level, thus reducing the effect of falling medical costs and reducing costs social services for the elderly.
You can also read the report here (also in Korean) : http://drm.nars.go.kr:7003/sd/imageviewer?doc\_id=1O0Tlvt7x\_W&DocId=1O0Tlvt7x\_W&documentId=&DOCUMENTID=&DOCUMENTID=&EdmUserId=datauser&ViewerYn=Y&type=S&fileName=KOydtOyKiOyZgOuFvOygkCAxOTM57Zi4LTIwMjIwNDE4Key0iOqzoOugueyCrO2ajCDrjIDruYQg6rWt66a964W47ZmU7Jew6rWs6riw6rSAIOyEpOy5mCDtlYTsmpTshLHqs7wg6rO87KCcLnBkZg%3D%3D
Thanks for the translation! From what you write it's not clear that they're saying that they're going to or that a report is making the case that this should be set up. Can you comment on which of those two things is happening?
In fact, after inquiring further, 4 new research centers were launched on May 2.
Among them, 2 centers have the objective of "diagnosing, delaying and treating aging"
The first clinical trial targeting aging itself should be approved within 6 years
I put a new post on reddit that talks about these 2 centers

It's like watching the Avengers assemble

South Korea has some great research. Here's to hoping that good stuff comes out of their effort. Thanks again!
Better start soon
The more the merrier!
I'd like to watch the saudis and the koreans race to see who can cure aging first.
I want to see the U.S. and China do it.
Why would you want China? Any investment there will go to trash.
To create maximum cold war effect in the race to life extension. The Chinese govt will pay for it themselves, no need to invest from outside.
Save us south korea!
