On the subject of SF magazines, I used to subscribe to the non-SF magazine Fractal Report. The same person, John de Rivaz, also produced a magazine about life extension/cryonics and a science fiction magazine about the same subject. I had no idea that he got in the news:-

Cryonics: The people who believe in a chance to come back

After a landmark ruling granted a 14-year-old girl the right to have her body cryogenically preserved, who are the other people paying for the procedure?

## THE 60% BARRIER IS NOT SOCIAL CAPITAL—IT IS BIOLOGICAL LITERACY

By Dr. Brent Allen Jensen The number is specific enough to haunt a policy maker: 60.2% of Zimbabwean youth received at least one dose [S. et al., 2023]. It seems mundane—a metric for public health success in Southern Africa—but viewed through the lens of radical life extension, it functions as a stress test for human destiny itself. This study by Larsson and colleagues reveals that vaccine hesitancy is not merely an emotional barrier; it is a failure to align biological risk assessment with available therapeutic…

The Long Tail of Extinction Risk: How Viral Scarring Dictates Immortality Economics and Biology

By Dr. Brent Allen Jensen The £2.44 per patient annual cost of a primary care consultation is not merely an administrative figure; it is the transactional price tag for biological attrition that threatens to erase human longevity [J. et al., 2023]. When Tufts, Zemedikun, and Subramanian calculate this burden at £23 million annually across non-hospitalised adults with Long COVID, they inadvertently measure a species-level crisis: the cost of managing an organism whose homeostatic machinery is failing faster…

By Dr. Brent Allen Jensen The statistical reality exposed by Bell et al. dismantles the traditional psychiatric separation between cognitive decline and circulatory catastrophe [V. et al., 2023]. The odds ratio of 3.32 is not a coincidence; it is a quantitative signature of systemic neurovascular failure masquerading as primary mental illness [V. et al., 2023]. This paper identifies that paranoia, hallucinated voices, and thought passivity are independent variables associated with stroke across four nations…

## Chromosome Topology Is Not Destiny, It is Architecture

By Dr. Brent Allen Jensen The yeast chromosome I shrank by 21.4% without killing the cell [J. et al., 2023]. We read this statistic as a mere technical triumph of synthetic biology; it is actually an anatomical revelation regarding human mortality itself. For two decades, biogerontology has treated chromosomal integrity as immutable law—the "genome" written in stone by evolutionary necessity. If the authors' fusion strains grew like wild-type despite fusing 1Mb arms to chromosome I [J. et al., 2023], then our…

‘To them, ageing is a technical problem that can, and will, be fixed’: how the rich and powerful plan to live for ever

When Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin were caught on mic talking about living for ever, it seemed straight out of a sci-fi fantasy. But for some death is no longer considered an inevitability … Imagine you’re the leader of one of the most powerful nations in the world. You have everything you could want at your disposal: power, influence, money. But, the problem is, your time at the top is fleeting. I’m not talking about the prospect of a coup or a revolution, or even a democratic election: I’m talking about the thing even more certain in life than taxes. I’m talking about death. In early September, China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin were caught on mic talking about strategies to stay young. “With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality,” Putin said via an interpreter to Xi. “There’s a chance,” he continued, “of also living to 150 [years old].” But is this even possible, and what would it mean for the world if the people with power were able to live for ever?
