Wow, Longevity Industrial Complex indeed! Thanks for this investigation Paul—it's heartening to know people like you are out there uncovering people like this (even if it does strengthen your Substack's integrity, which is fine!) I'm equally amazed at Stanford Medicine's blasé responses to you. Sadly, that seems to be the case with much in higher ed these days (an abhorrent, baked-in resistance to the idea they might be doing something wrong). And sadly I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Just the other day I heard a friend telling me about someone telling her mother (who is in her 80s) that she just has to hang on for a few more years, because by 2030 "they'll be able to extend your life another 20-30 years, easily." Huh?
This is great reporting. You’ve identified on so many important issues. I hope people take notice and keep this type of misrepresentation in mind. I hope Stanford takes some action to clean up miss use of their reputation.
Thank you for this information. Because of this and other articles I’ve read about Stanford medical , I wouldn’t trust much of what comes out of there without checking it out first. Trust in medicine is pretty much gone

Well done! Very impressive research and a great reminder not to take claims at face value.

Wow. Great reporting, Paul (I am sad that this genre of investigation has to exist and yet I also can’t get enough of it??? Root them out!)
Thank you for so fully researching this through the lens of ethics.
