Outcome
Inaccurate
By 2009 cancer was still a leading cause of death worldwide (about 7.6 million deaths in 2008 per WHO), most chronic diseases were managed rather than reversed, and no therapy reversed human aging. Treatments improved, but nothing close to reversing most diseases or aging happened within the ten years.
