I no longer get excited about medical innovation because I know I'll never be able to afford to benefit from any of it. I'm lucky to have gotten vaccinated as a child while that was still legal for the poors

    There was a new development in japan less than a year ago. Downside is all your teeth fall out and all regrow

    I'm sorry, I thought you said there was a downside.

    You think teething and a soft food diet isn't a downside? Any time I have anything done that requires soft food, I'm craving solid food within like three days. It sucks.

    its possible now but the world is pretty fucked. we can already reduce aging too and reverse it, we have cancer treatments that have near 100 percent success rates for many cancers, and many of these developments were only in recent years but when you watch how much gets done without making it into actual hospitals because of shitass companies and practices it makes you feel a little concerned if any of that will really have an impact, especially when everything is already burning anyway.....

    No offense, but unless you have some sort of condition like not growing enamel, what have you been doing for your teeth to be that bad at not even 50? Chewing on anvils and flossing with barbed wire?

    Chemo, Bruxism, Shitty genetics, mental health often leads to poor hygiene, sports or injuries can fuck you.

    Bigger question is why you're choosing to be an A-grade arsehole over it.
