The global race to slow aging has created one of the most lucrative and least examined markets of the modern era. Behind the language of innovation, regenerative medicine, and breakthrough science lies a shadow economy where wealth, weak regulation, and human vulnerability collide.The Longevity Trade investigates the multi-billion-dollar longevity industry and the hidden systems that power it. From elite medical tourism and experimental stem cell treatments to offshore research hubs and regulatory gray zones, this book traces how cutting-edge biotechnology can drift from promise into exploitation when incentives overpower oversight.Drawing on publicly available records, investigative reporting, and documented cases across multiple countries, the book exposes how global demand for youth and life extension creates supply chains that often rely on silence, secrecy, and ethical compromise. It examines the brokers, institutions, and regulatory failures that allow these markets to operate, and the human cost paid by those caught on the wrong side of the trade.This is not a manifesto or a conspiracy narrative. It is a structural analysis of how advanced science, money, and power interact in environments where accountability breaks down - and a warning about what happens when the pursuit of longevity outpaces moral restraint.For readers interested in bioethics, global health, investigative nonfiction, and the future of medicine, The Longevity Trade offers a sober, unsettling look at a world where extending life has become a business - and not everyone survives the transaction.23bfbd96-27ff-4c38-aa7c-7aa0481...
