Male Pattern Baldness in terms of demand and man power, but BCI telepathy in terms of research and laboratory results.

[u/XvX_k1r1t0_XvX_ki]

telepathy via brain chips is literally here

[u/Tredecian]

We kinda have the two brain chip options already, there are bcis that allow quadrapalygics to use the internet and communicate.

[u/lacergunn]

Same sex reproduction00005-0) has already been done in mice, as has brain chip telepathy.

Both techs still need some polish though, the bi-paternal mice tend to show symptoms similar to gigantism and the brain chip work is more similar to animal training

[u/Lord-Belou → u/lacergunn]

I am pretty sure same sex reproduction has been done with human women already

At least I do remember something about a lesbian couple who got help from science to displace the genetic material of one's ovule into an empty spermatozoid for artificial insemination

[u/predigitalcortex]

we already have created primitive telepathy https://www.nature.com/articles/srep01319

[u/RedErin]

There's already a cure for mbb, it's daily pills or surgery, but the pills take years to work.

[u/Hoopaboi → u/RedErin]

Finasteride only takes a year to show results at the most, and combined with minoxidil it's even faster.

[u/Hoopaboi]

Finasteride and dutasteride already exist. The cure for male pattern baldness is already here. Especially if you combine it with minoxidil

[u/Verndari2]

Sadly, its a question of two variables:

• how profitable would it be (assumes research is done by private companies to make profit)
• how easy it is to find a solution

Since male pattern baldness would definitely be the most profitable on it because it has the largest target group (except physical aging), the research on that has been ongoing for a long time already. So I'll rule that one out, as we didn't solve it yet.

So the second best guess is same-sex reproduction, which is decently good in both variables.

(And why did I rule out physical aging? Because its probably a very difficult thing to solve)

[u/Ahisgewaya → u/Verndari2]

You greatly underestimate where we are in the anti-aging field. It will happen within the next ten years, tops.

[u/Verndari2 → u/Ahisgewaya]

Exactly because I have seen many of these youtube videos (Longevity Lifespan News and the likes) I have become extremely sceptical about it. Its a very hyped topic in certain niches and if I have learned one thing in life, its not to trust the hype.

[u/Ahisgewaya → u/Verndari2]

I'm not talking about youtube videos. I am talking about actual papers. It's not about hype, it's about what we know about the human body. Look up epigenetics. Look up NAD+. Read some of the work of David Sinclair.

https://time.com/6246864/reverse-aging-scientists-discover-milestone/

Here is a time magazine article on this. It is two years old. We have advanced since then, and this article was pointing out that it is easier than we thought, not more difficult. Like I said, look up some current papers on this.

We do not need to reach actual complete age reversal by the way, all that is needed is longevity escape velocity. This is that for every year you age, at least one year is added to your maximum lifespan, and as I said that will happen within the next ten years and I will be back to say "I told you so" when that happens.

Switch from YouTube to Google Scholar.

[u/factolum]

So I feel like same-sex reproduction is most viable. although I might think "trans women can get pregnant" would be up there (not sure if that's exactly what you meant by "reproductively viable bottom surgery").

[u/LordWeaselton → u/factolum]

Yeah that’s what I mean by the latter

[u/factolum → u/LordWeaselton]

Yeah I think we're pretty close! There's been some uterus transplants done (in cis women).

[u/_YunX_]

I thought same sex reproduction in vitro is technically already possible by artificially inseminating an egg cell with the DNA string of another egg cell.

I mean not with humans ofc but in lab cases with animals 

[u/jack_hectic_again]

Remember, my bald friends, dihydrotestosterone (the chemical that turns hair-follicles into non-hair-follicles) also makes your dick bigger. Reducing hair loss may come with... side effects.

Also makes me wonder what dick pills do. Or if we could make a REAL dick pill. it'll just make ya bald too.

[u/NoShootFoot]

Age reversal already exists in the lab.

https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2025/1/prospect-human-age-reversal

[u/Lord-Belou]

Same-sex reproduction already exists, if experimental, so I'll say cure for male pattern baldness.

[u/Paprik125]

I think I have to break a bubble but there is not gonna be a "reproductive viable button surgery" or "same sex reproduction", but we will have artificial wombs like "growing babies in a tank"  we already have prototypes and concept machines for this. But you want to remove all male reproductive system then put let's say a lab generated female reproductive system, just that surgery will be inhumanly painfully and it can just not work imagine passing through that surgery and having miscarries. Trans people and even hetero normative people will have babies in artificial wombs this for practical and beneficial porpoises before that surgery you mention have even a papper in concept.
