Another bit of science from out of the fringes.

The US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has granted a long term clinical trial to use the type 2 diabetes treatment Metformin as a life extending treatment.

It has stretched the lifespan of several of several type of lab animals., well beyond their normal lifespans.

I guess it's time to test it on lawyers. . .

("What's that cocktail you're having, grandpa?" "Just a belt of Metformin, with a Rapamycin chaser. Wanna arm-wrestle?")
