"If they dared, biohacking bros who seek to defy aging could try a simple, time-tested method: castration."

reading that anywhere would make me smile, but as the first sentence of a news article in Science? that's good stuff

you might be thinking, surely it's too late for me, but worry not chum i have great news for you

"...the surgical procedure doesn’t have to be performed early in life to boost longevity, as scientists had assumed."

to the best of my knowledge it's considered extremely easy by surgeons, and takes about 20 minutes

the article is here science.org/content/article/ca and has some other good quotes in it too, including the ending, which i won't spoil

much to think about
