Imagine if your dog lived to 35. After 2026, it will be real.
>>4827272>Dogs get access to life extending medicine before people… Huh?
>>4827283Dogs eat carcinogenic garbage. Dog food is garbage. Not one single manufacturer gives a fuck about carcinogen content or cross contamination in “meal” (rendering plants are not known for purity and cleanliness). All this pill does is reverse the effects of dog food and purposeful inbreeding.
>>4827283Are you being facetious? We have tons of life extension drugs and procedures.
>some large breedswhy only them if it's food based >>4827286
>>4827321theyre all bullshit except cal restriction and m a y b e rapamycin. everything else is a giant fugazi at present. i guess dogs can 'get' longevity treatment before humans only in the sense they become senescent 10x faster, so you can see the results (if any) much sooner. but there just arent many viable treatments at present, or anytime soon, regardless which pill of the month the longevity bros are evangelizing
>>4827349You're thinking about it wrong then.Say if humans were like great danes and most of them died of stomach torsion before other causes or got abnormally early heart disease. In that case a drug that prevents the stomach torsion or statins are life extension.
But does it fix their hips, joints, eyes, stop tumors, etc?>oy vey of course not goy now pay up for vet bills for an extra 20 years!
>>4827286Many large breeds tend to be fed "proper" optimised raw diets with actual meat and bones and are still dropping off at 10 (not to mention even if healthy, "largeness" or muscularity seems to have been "fixed" with a chance for sudden death type diseases - see Dogue de Bordeaux, Bullmastiff, maybe Boerboels)At a certain size, if healthy they're living to 10, some breeds have a lower average due to u shaped survival curve, but then some have a "natural" mean of about 7 like Great Danes with low variance (maybe even as low as 6)
>>4827974>>4827286The problem is that a lot of large dog breeds are bred to grow as fast as possible which puts strain on their hearts. The healthiest ones take years to reach maturity while trash breeds like Irish Wolfhounds are full sized within two years (sometimes less than that.)
>>4828105Which sucks. I think Mongolian Shepherds are the biggest with actually decent lifespans too
Neat.Now make it for rats. I got an idea.
>>4829213>this just in>the Eternal Rat Council has contacted the mayor of New York City, demanding sovereign nation status
>>4829213yes yes the man-things should do this
>>4829330spindly skaven fingers typed this
>>4827349>caloric restriction>rapamycinThe far-flung future of the year 2,000 looks so bright!Why is life extension the one field where ZERO progress has been made for 50 years but people still talk about it? Now tell me red wine will make me live longer.
>>4827272>The drug works by reducing insulin-like growth factor 1So it's just metformin.
>>4827272>screenshot of text instead of sourceso it's false then
>>4827283They deserve it more.
>>4827272Dogwives are entering a Renaissance
>>4830137lol no
>>4830135Just get diabetes or a really lenient doctor. You can get metformin too.
>>4827272And what sort of condition would such a dog live in.Life extension is only good if the prime of life is extended.Nobody wants to spend 10+ extra years as a wheezing, shivering bag of skin and bone barely capable of moving under its own power.
>>4829501We already have life extention applied to the population in general, many things that would be fatal to us 500 years ago cam be handled easily by modern medicine. We just have life shortening applied to the population as well like the obesity epidemics.
so it was a successful mission after all
