Alternatively, one might ask someone with those disabilities to provide feedback.

While i think we should do more things in that direction, it borders on human experimentation.

Btw, somebody should mention that Putin/Xi's talk about living to 150 years and the 70 being just a children age today (if you have state resources at your disposal).

I think life extension is an age-old topic for every powerful monarch or authoritarian leader. Every one believes they'll at last be the one who has the right resources and people to finally cheat life and live to 150 or become immortal. If they really end up buying into immortality it usually leads to their demise, like what happened to so many Chinese emperors throughout history. New knowledge and new theories about aging always arise but so does new quackery from people who have a lot to gain from convincing powerful people.

Yesterday it was immortality elixirs that lead to mercury poisioning, today it's young blood transfusions and young organ transplants (having multiple major surgeries and living on lifelong immunosuppresants does not bode well for longevity)
