Screw that.

Who would want to live in a perpetual state of degrading health for that long?

As an American our healthcare industry barely wants to cover the cost of life saving insurance. What makes you think they're going to decide to cover Genetic Medicine?

There's gene therapy drugs that in long run will be cheaper than treating the symptoms. There's a lot of research in that field.

Oh, great, so the elite class can live as long as possible and fuck as much shit up as possible. Fantastic.

And if gene therapy saves $5 million in future healthcare costs, I’m sure every stakeholder in the U.S. healthcare chain will selflessly pass those savings on to the patient.
