Like this topic "Targeting Aging with Metformin" wouldnot be a Wikipedia article https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139821014 This one has already been deleted https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139821000 Cryonics is pseudoscience and thankfully our article makes that clear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryonics Blood substitutes do not currently exist for use in people cause none have been shown to be useful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_substitute Only a handful are health related like yaws, malaria, polio, and dracunculiasis eradication.
