If your priority is to reduce human suffering in the world, then by far the most cost-effective approach is to support scientific programs that enable the development of rejuvenation therapies. In comparison to the vast and inflated cost of medicine, the scientific research that produces the means to make new medicines is cheap. Given the right infrastructure of advocacy and networking between the scientific community and industry, new scientific results achieved at low cost can inspire a great deal of investment in further development. Our community of patient advocates, scientists, fundraisers, and entrepreneurs has spent the past two decades building out that infrastructure: people and organizations that identify the most promising research programs, help to fund them, and then transfer the successful results into venture-funded biotech startups. That ecosystem grows with time, and the original efforts are now spread out over a number of non-profits, collaborating with a network of allied researchers. All of these non-profits merit ongoing philanthropic support, so that they continue to build a pipeline from academia to industry for the most promising approaches to human rejuvenation.
