Curious, do you have kids? I now have a fear of death I wouldn’t have if I didn’t have children. I have a huge sense of obligation. I need to stick around for them. My two oldest know what I do for a living. They don’t like that I travel so much for Forever Labs. The other night my daughter asked if storing your stem cells could make you not die? I said that I believe it will help people live longer and healthier. She then asked if anyone was trying to figure out how to keep people alive forever? I said that many people are trying and that it will take many approaches, including stem cells. She then said, “daddy, I don’t care if you have to travel. Just fix it.”
