As you've probably figured out, the lovable folks at Honist Biogen, Kandarin's premier pharmaceuticals and tinkering-with-the-natural-order firm, are selling a life-extension drug called Enkindle. Since I didn't say nearly enough in-thread, here are a few more details, if needed, on how it works*: Enkindle is administered in a series of six injections over the period of a few weeks. Kandarinese medical personnel trained in its administration are being prepared to ship out to foreign countries to oversee treatments, OR train local personnel in conducting the treatment themselves. The human aging process is a long one. The interaction of Enkindle drugs stops the process before it happens, and holds off aging for anything from ten to twenty-five years, depending on the patient, after which the aging process resumes wherever it left off. The downside of this is that the treatment has to be administered before a specific point in the human aging process, specifically the point of peak brain cell production (26 or so). It doesn't work for people older than that. This has been in the works for some time. Extensive testing has been conducted on a experimental group in Kandarin for many years. The experimental group consisted entirely of standard-pattern humans, for whom the process is specifically tailored. Success on non-human or part-human races is not guaranteed. Side effects were a mixed bunch, but minor. Due to several public relations concerns and the fact that Enkindle is the brainchild of the quasi-altruistic mind of a certain high-ranking Eldar Lady, the Enkindle treatment is priced so as to be reasonably affordable to individual consumers, if not nearly so friendly to government medical monopolies. They're still hoping to turn a tidy profit, but the reasons behind the project are more ideological than financial. This is a multi-regional RP. There's an identical thread over in The Rejected Realms. *Well, not EXACTLY how it works. If I knew how to make something like this work I'd be out developing it, not sitting here RPing it! |

Quite a lot of you had something interesting going in this thread, but it's stalled. All I have to say is this: Don't wait on me! This thread is about your nations, not mine. |
