I literally mean freezing cells. I didn’t specify the kind of cells because you could go for stem cells (from teeth or bone marrow), or blood cells, or some other sample tissue. I also didn’t specify the freezing technique because you could prefer to vitrify them, grow more on a Petri dish or do something else altogether, my point is about the rationale of preserving them, and I didn’t want people not to deal with the least convenient possible world.
For an individual to make the decision to freeze cells there has to be a specific action. Without a specific action you can’t make the decision to engage it or not engage it.
Plenty of people do freeze stem cells for their children. Some men do freeze sperm. Some women freeze egg cells.
If you think you know of a high reward way of freezing cells that isn’t already explored, start a company.
Yes, thank you! My goal was exactly finding the action that must be taken to freeze and keep frozen some cells. That was it, a simple action. I had to ask over 22 people in the high headquarters of anti-aging before Tyler Emerson (who himself did not freeze his pluripotent cells) found a company that does that for pluripotent cells.
Plenty of people freezing their kids Stem Cells emphasizes my point, it is much more a movement of mimesis and contagion that caused that, otherwise you’d see individually motivated people doing the same for themselves, for selfish reasons. At least, or so I thought, you would see the major longevist figures alive doing it.
I don’t know any way that isn’t explored, nor do I have interest in starting a company in a business that, as I have just described, has a fully procrastinatory and irrational market. That would be financial suicide.
Cord blood stem cells are obviously useful—you can use them to give perfectly matched bone marrow transplants and there has been VERY LIMITED success turning them into other cell types in laboratory research. The process for getting bone marrow stem cells from an adult is either painful (gigantic drill/needle into your hip bone) or dangerous (drugs that cause your bone marrow to overproliferate and leak into your blood) not to mention expensive so most people aren’t willing to go through with it on the off chance they need a bone marrow transplant, instead opting to give it only when someone else badly needs the cells.
De-differentiated pluripotent stem cells are dangerous. Think teratomas. They’ve been genetically modified to de-differentiate and are thus prone to going all weird later. Amazing for research purposes though even if there’s recent work to the effect that not all IPSC cell lines are exactly like natural pluripotent cells.
What exactly do you mean when you say “freezing some of your cells now”?
Why do you believe that it would help someone grow a bladder for me in case I need a new bladder down the road?
