And I wish you a long, healthy life.

As one with glaucoma-induced vision loss in my left eye, I find this

[kaehurowing]

I misread the first part of the headline and got all excited for a second.

You didn’t “touch a nerve.” You’re just obnoxious.

ISWYDT...................

No don’t, i hope I did before I get old

[ppptop]

If this works, it could bring back sight to thousands of people that suffer blindness due to macular degeneration, for which there is no cure, and glaucoma, which is one of the leading causes of blindness.

It’s not about living forever but enabling the blind a chance to see their loved ones.

I touched your nerve.

And I touched it again.

You’ve got a lot of nerve.

[Bob434]

And also restoring sight to those who suffer age related loss of sight, which would be huge.

But eyeglass manufacturers don’t want this to succeed lol jk

[hellinahandcart]

So do you.

[Wilhelm Tell]

I don’t know how reversing the damage done by some age-related diseases became a discussion about “living forever.” I’m kind of disappointed by all the anti-science remarks here. I guess those who are so inclined can give up MRIs, modern surgery, air travel, computers and the Internet - all things brought by science.

Great. Now they’ll engineer hamsters that can live 20 years, instead of the usual two.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Betcha Medicare won’t cover it.

[spudville]

THE MICE ARE CELEBRATING.

[Secret Agent Man]

well, if they are your own stem cells, not an issue

[Fred Nerks]

But, are the mice thankful?

[Candor7]

But, are the mice thankful?>>>>>>>

We trapped 80 in our house this past summer, it was an
unusually heavy summer for mice in our community here.

I doubt they know they live longer than usual, or see better
than before. If they are thankful, we have a lot to worry about.

They will inherit the earth instead of dogs or cats.

[Fred Nerks]

Cockroaches are the go!

[minnesota_bound]

What if you had lasik?
Would it reverse you back to blurry vision?

[Red Badger]

Technically yes.................
