Ok, what would happen if we took out a good sample of a person's bone marrow stem cells, then selected good ones out of them and treated them with some telomerase to make them young again.

Then we would treat the patient with a nice cocktail of cytostats and senolytics to kill all transformed (pre-oncological) cell populations and also senescent and other kinds of cells in trajectories to become potentially cancerous in the future, and finally replace the patient's bone marrow with the one grown from the rejuvenated population?

I wonder if something like this has been tried with animals?

SpringerLinkPsychedelic Therapy as Form of Life - NeuroethicsIn the historical context of a crisis in biological psychiatry, psychedelic drugs paired with psychotherapy are globally re-emerging in research clinics as a potential transdiagnostic therapy for treating mood disorders, addictions, and other forms of psychological distress. The treatments are poised to soon shift from clinical trials to widespread service delivery in places like Australia, North America, and Europe, which has prompted ethical questions by social scientists and bioethicists. Taking a broader view, we argue that the ethics of psychedelic therapy concerns not simply how psychotherapies are different when paired with psychedelic drugs, but how psychedelic therapies shape and are shaped by different values, norms, and metaphysical commitments. Drawing from the published literature and interviews with seven psychedelic therapists working in clinical trials in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, and Australia, this article opens the black box of the treatments to consider the values and informal debates currently animating the therapies. Considering questions of patient autonomy, mechanisms of therapeutic action, and which therapies are best suited to pair with psychedelic substances, we examine the ethics of psychedelic therapy as an emergent form of life. To bring this form of life out in fuller relief, we conclude by comparing and contrasting it with ayahuasca use in Amazonian shamanism.
