Lifespan.io offers Unfucking Your Mitochondria (by duplicating information in your cells)
Mitochondria are vulnerable to mutation; cells are less vulnerable. 99% of the shit in your mitos is duplicated in your cells already, but the remaining 1% hasn't yet evolved in there.
These people aim to change that.

College Decision
Hello /th/. I'm a high school senior and later in my life I want to do research that will significantly contribute to transhumanism. I need to make a decision by next month and I was just wondering where you guys think the best choice would be for me to being this path. I have been accepted to the following schools:
SENS talks reality
(Minor edits: comments directed to specific people have been knocked off.)
If you're under-30 and healthy now, and you ever die, it's because you fucked up.
Early-life cancer? You ingested or inhaled the wrong substances. You fucked up.Technocracy
Hello fellow Transhumanists.Airoplanes are stupid!
Seriously… why the hell are we wasting vast ammounts of fuel and poluting the air sending human bodies around the world when signals are cheaper and easier to send…
Thanks to Hotwheels for making this a Board of the Week
Since Hotwheels is obviously in need of serious, fundamental physical improvements that do not yet exist, it's no surprise that he got around to making this a BotW. (I just wish making it one attracted more posts.)
Problem of Muslims
What are all the ISIS shitstains gonna do after the singularity? They obviously don't approve of augmenting/engineering the human body. They're ready to cripple communication networks or down a space elevator 9/11 style. The future cannot co-exist with these barbarians. But if we can't even solve the Middle East right now, what makes everybody so optimistic that advanced AIs/transhumans would fare any better against a bunch of kebabs with a nuke? Creation is stressful and arduous, destruction is instant and cathartic. In the hands of, say, ISIS, nanomachines and advanced AIs capable of engineering nukes, plagues, etc. could spell the death of humanity for the sake of their stupid fucking 6th-century caliphate.'Cyborg' is now a gender identity
Why do SJW's have to insert themselves into everything?
Reason goes immortalist
Economic right-wingers can be MUCH more easily convinced to embrace longevity tech than the left. None of that "it's unnatural" Gaian bullshit, and I haven't seen a single one talk seriously about holding it for a privileged few; that spectre comes entirely from the left.What is Transhumanism?
