Would you take a cheap and effective once-a-day anti-aging pill? What if it were a suppository? (lemmy.ca)

You can assume that for every day you take the pill you don't age that day - if you skip it for a day you age by a day.

So why do you suppose we would be losing so many more people over some reasonable span of time if it's only the unusual that is killing them?

Your opinion on this isn't very coherent. I suspect it is more tied to an emotional reaction more than some objective reason. You may want to explore why.

Thank you for your kind consideration.
