Russia’s Kremlin funded the national program “New Health Preservation Technologies” to pursue anti-aging therapies including gene therapies, bioprinting, and genetically modified mini pigs. The effort is set to spend about $26 billion through 2030 (roughly 22 billion euros) with a stated goal of saving 175,000 lives by the end of the decade. Spending and tax plans instead shift costs toward Russians as social cuts continue and defense budgets rise to much larger levels.
