In our latest attempts to make lab rats immortal, a new compound has been shown to reverse late stage Alzheimer's disease in lab mice. This is a rare case where the title isn't even clickbait.

Advancements are only for the rich in these lands. Far from still being for the benefit, prolonging the rich's lives is arguably not.

It would be an advancement if the rights to the drug were owned by some sort of benefit corporation, or non profit, or were not sold to the worst people in the world.

It's not though. They are maximizing revenue with no one in government to stop them, to call them on gouging.
