Can you paradoxically kill yourself early by trying to cheat Death? For example, die through risky anti-aging approaches?<\/p>\n
The question came to mind because such longevity efforts have become more extreme. They also get more hype in the media. I\u2019ve been following the anti-aging space mainly because many interventions involve risky stem cell injections. Those trying to reverse the clock also sometimes do other really \u201cout there\u201d things like DIY gene therapy.<\/p>\n
I believe that some such efforts could be fatal. It\u2019s an odd paradox. Go all out trying to cheat Death and you might throw out the welcome mat for it.<\/p>\n
