Every single longevity project - human or otherwise - is a scam. Fear of dying is the most fundamental one to existence, and scam artists have been exploiting it for as long as there have been people.
Religion promises an eternal afterlife. Cryogenics promises a future thawing and cure in an enlightend and technically advanced future. Plastic surgery puts a veneer over the signs of the natural aging process. The more recent batch have targeted metabolism, growth inhibition (ie rapamycin), etc.
Very wealthy people that don't want to die or don't want their pets to die will never be in short supply. They will still all die, roughly around the same time they would have otherwise from different causes with different infirmities (search for "sirolimus side effects").
Enjoy and make the most of the years you are given. Happy New Year.
There are many destructive processes happening in the post-reproductive years that we don't have names for yet and unfortunately have been referring to as "aging". But they are disease states as much as any other.
There is literally nothing about this project that will have any dog or human live forever. But it does have the possibility to improve dog and human health in some fundamental ways and increase the number of healthy years that we get before disease takes over. If this is longevity science, then all medicine is longevity science.
