Longevity is no longer a myth — China is developing pills to extend human life Scientists at Lonvi Biosciences in Shenzhen have unveiled a drug based on grape seed extract, which they claim could extend human life to 100 years or more, The New York Times reports. Until recently, life-extension research in China was dismissed as pseudoscience — but now it’s becoming a state-backed priority and a rapidly growing market. “In the past, only wealthy Americans talked about longevity. Now affluent Chinese are joining the trend,” said Gan Yu, co-founder of the biotech firm Time Pie. Liu Qinghua, Lonvi’s chief technology officer, went even further, stating that “living to 150 years is absolutely achievable.” The topic resurfaced after a leaked conversation between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping at the SCO summit, where the two reportedly discussed organ transplantation and radical life-extension technologies.

Sinclair Says Kimmel Suspension is Not Enough, Calls on FCC and ABC to Take Additional Action Sinclair’s ABC stations to Air Special in Remembrance of Charlie Kirk During Jimmy Kimmel Live! Friday Timeslot Sinclair, the nation’s largest ABC affiliate group, objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk. As discussed with ABC earlier today, Sinclair decided to indefinitely preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live beginning tonight. Following these discussions, ABC suspended production of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country,” said Vice Chairman Jason Smith. “We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities. We appreciate FCC Chairman Carr’s remarks today, and this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks.” Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during the Jimmy Kimmel Live! timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend. In addition, Sinclair is offering the special to all ABC affiliates across the country. Sinclair will not lift the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability.   Sinclair also call upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, Sinclair asks Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.   Regardless of ABC’s plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends not to return Jimmy Kimmel Live! to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.
