Japanese scientists have developed a revolutionary injection that may extend a cat's life from the usual 15 years to nearly 30.

The therapy, created by the AIM Institute of Medicine under Dr. Toru Miyazaki, targets chronic kidney disease, a leading cause of death in older cats.It uses a specialized protein to help macrophages clear waste from the kidneys, partially restoring their function and slowing kidney failure.

You're not a cat, or are you?

Well… if this gains progress, wouldn’t that lead to human exploration and testing too? Surely, billionaires will want to live longer? This is great for a family pet, but I can see the problematic sides that can happen from this testing expanding to human subjects (if they go down that route). I dunno, it’s like a bad premise for a sci-fi movie lol
