I don't know what LEF is funding, but yes, your suggestion is being followed,
by, oh, about a hundred gerontology researchers. That's pretty much THE
near-term goal for many, if not most, anti-aging researchers these days.

Still, it might take a while for this research to succeed, ergo the question:
what to do now?
