I think a part of getting older is just watching medical science get better as the world gets shittier and realising the two cancel each other out so a natural death is still the preferred option. This is probably how people felt off the back of a world war, the depression, and then in the middle of another world war, someone's like,

"Check out penicillin! I accidentally discovered it like a decade ago."

"Nah, I'm good, thanks."

Semaglutides and other weight loss drugs will hopefully make this treatment less needed in the future. I hope this somehow gets funding, testing, and approval before then to help all the folks with existing damage.

This drug has already gone through Phase 1 human trials for a separate condition.

Phase 1 trials only test safety in healthy adults, but this drug passed. (Still awaiting the paper on the trial)

The delivery method was a once a day pill.

Right? After a lifetime of walking, I'm gonna need some work soon -- feet, mainly. Please let this get to an applicable fix before it's too late!

Oh shit this is awesome. I’ve got some stuff that’s wrong with my knees, and this would be fantastic.

My wife recently had her knee replaced. After seeing her recovery, hopefully this is available before I need mine done. Otherwise, it's gonna have to hurt like hell non stop before I consider getting mine done.
