Apparently, they'd have us believe that obliterating grumpy old cells in our body will stop the clock. Sure—next they’ll say these pills can reverse a bad hair day. "Does anyone really think senolytics can save us from aging when they can't even agree if coffee's good for you?"
Back in my day, we aged gracefully with a shot of whiskey and an afternoon nap, but now they're inventing miracle cures to make life even longer. Never mind if they actually need a long tutorial to understand. "What's this senolytics thing? Sounds like something my doctor prescribed me that I lost in the medicine cabinet."
A spotlight on the hope that we can capsule away those grumpy, old cells and stay forever young. But hey, who am I kidding—I'll be sprinting towards the fountain of youth with my scientifically skeptical eyebrows raised. "Senolytics are supposedly game-changers—I'll raise a pipette to that when I see some replicable data. Until then, pass me the wrinkle cream."
