CLL Future?

Edit Post

Only time will tell. We just have to wait and see

Edit Post

by year 2080 physical strength and conflict will become a thing of the distant past. all that matters will be who can eat the least amount of food and still be smart. being tall will become a burden. we will go through a pandemic which affects tall people more and short people less. there will be minimally invasive techniques to increase IQ. CLL will taught in schools as a strange historical practice.

Once LL becomes something equivalent to a nose job, I think height might lose some of its desirability. It will of course be good for people who are way below average, but being tall may not be something men and women will be able to use to distinguish themselves anymore.

Having said that, I can't see distraction osteogenesis ever become mainstream. We would have to discover an entirely new approach.

It never will, because not many people will get CLL. The recovery procedure is seemingly just too brutal.

Facial surgery is different, you don't really have to do anything except wait and recover.

This though is another story.

True, you can even work after 1-2 weeks after surgery

You can work a week or two after LL surgery too if you're working from home.

Hopefully the price for the surgery could become cheaper. On top of that, hopefully something innovative could come along that would allow you reach a full and faster recovery. Could there be a stem cell treatment that would make the soft tissue more amenable/regenerative to the lengthening that happens in such a short period compared to natural growth? A stem cell treatment that would allow the soft tissues to not be damaged?

Edit Post

That's a good solid point. Maybe they can stimulate the area to heal faster, and also new techiniques to lentgh the soft tissues safer. Your bones need the growth plates to grow, and it has a specific period of time, but soft tissue has not limit to grow, people are born almost the same size and some achieve 2,5m of height and some 1,5m of height.

I posted in another thread, but there is the possibility of full limb regeneration in the very distant future. Now we likely won't benefit from this as this is probably many years away, but theoretically you could make any size limbs you wanted with this technology.

In the near future likely nothing much unfortunately. Just go forward with regular limb lengthening and hope you live long enough to see human rejuvenation and regeneration because that could be big.

I agree with that, but I think they will focous more at young people, beacause if young people grow enough, CLL wouldn't be that necessary, doe sit makes sense?
