Putin's doctor daughter determines: the reason humanity fails to achieve eternal life

Maria Vorontsova, Putin's daughter and an endocrinologist, spoke at Skolkovo about longevity. She called on medicine to do more to extend human life but noted that breakthroughs are not expected in the next 10–20 years. Russia is developing a vaccine against cellular aging.

Maria Vorontsova, Vladimir Putin's eldest daughter and an endocrinologist by training, spoke at an event at Skolkovo, the 'Russian Silicon Valley', before researchers and students. She called on medicine to do more to extend human life, partly due to 'the universal human fear of death'. However, she noted that breakthroughs in the field are not expected in the next 10 or 20 years. Russia is working on developing a vaccine to halt cellular aging as part of the 'Long and Active Life' program. The article notes that the war in Ukraine, with about 500,000 casualties, was not discussed at the event. The headline promises a determination on why humanity does not achieve eternal life, but the body does not provide such a determination.
