I think we are very close to that limit. I mean, with the right set of drugs applied in the right way during the right timespans and correctly targeted, you can give a person wings and they can take flight. But all of those constraints are very specific to the person and to their current biological condition. The pipeline for drugs today is for the drugs, not for an individual’s peculiarities.

We need a fundamental breakthrough in the way we do medicine (and preventive medicine). Digital twins[^1] of individuals need to become widespread, and today they aren’t even used in research settings, as far as I know. And, to be honest, this is not at all an easy feat. It is, however, something I would love to work on if I had time and resources; humans and even mice are extremely far-fetched, but perhaps hydrozoans can be cracked as a first milestone.
