It's like living in an episode of Futurama

The Salk Institute has been testing its cellular rejuvenation technology, which it claims can "undo" the damages of strokes, cancer, and heart attacks on our bodies.
They've only trialled mice so far, who appeared years younger than their actual age 7 months after the treatment.
Check out the Institute's video on their studies so far:
Co-corresponding author Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, professor in Salk’s Gene Expression Laboratory and holder of the Roger Guillemin Chair said:
“We are elated that we can use this approach across the life span to slow down aging in normal animals. The technique is both safe and effective in mice”
“In addition to tackling age-related diseases, this approach may provide the biomedical community with a new tool to restore tissue and organismal health by improving cell function and resilience in different disease situations, such as neurodegenerative diseases.”
The future of healthcare could be wild.
