14% longer in mice trails is more than a few weeks. Regardless of if it’s “desperate” or not, there’s worse ways to spend your time than searching for a way to live another decade.

14% of a mouse life is several weeks.

Would seem more obtuse to me to assume that a gain of 14% for mice in a lab-situation would translate to a similar gain for humans in a real-life situation.
