I'm tired of this argument. Many of the drugs investigated are already very cheap and available (metformin, NMN, fisetin, to name a few popular ones that you can buy easily), and scaling production to the entire population will be immensely more profitable than selling it to a few wealthy people.

Yup. People here like to treat the wealthy like an all powerful monolith.

It's also worth pointing out not every wealthy person is a sociopathic Monty Burns who doesn't care about the quality of life for all humanity. Many wealthy people donate the vast majority of their wealth throughout their lives.
