The Billionaire Lab Rat: Bryan Johnson’s Bet on Illegal Gene Therapy

<p>Centuries earlier, the Spanish were captivated by the story of the &ldquo;Bimini,&rdquo; the land of prosperity that held the fountain of youth. Conquistadors like Ponce de Le&oacute;n scavenged the new world from Honduras to Florida in search of this sacred stream. Legend said that the water could restore frail old men back to their prime years. To the modern world, the thought of a mystical fountain that returned youth seems almost laughable. Yet, we&rsquo;ve never given up this search. Now, with the help of advanced genome editing, gene therapies, regenerative treatments and more, some believe we are closer than ever before to rewinding and resetting the clocks of biological aging.</p> <p>Our modern re-edition takes us back to Honduras, to the picturesque shores of Roat&aacute;n, a coral-rich Carribean getaway.
