Maybe because zero progress has been made in regards to cognitive decline, vision preservation/restoration and retarding or reversing joint deterioration?
Just a hunch...
Worldwide life expectancy is 1.48 times what it was in 1950 and yet:
- Cancer rates have experienced a 6% (Leukemia) to 183% (Multiple Myeloma) since 1950
- 1 in 10 Americans over the age of 65 has Alzheimer’s.
- According to the Vision Council of America, approximately 75% of adults use some sort of vision correction
- For women, they can start to show signs of joint pain due to aging after age 50, while men are likely to see it before age 45
- Roughly 7 million people in the United States are living with a total hip or knee replacement. Continuing pain is common.
So cool, some worms live an extra 2-3 weeks and have infinitely less exposure to UV radiation, wholly lack joints, have incredibly simpler brains, live orders of magnitude less to be exposed to random radiation and countless compounds that can cause genetic mutations and damage, experiences orders of magnitude less environmental stress over their lifespan etc.
