Dog ownership associated with longer life, especially among heart attack and stroke survivors: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191008083121.htm
Dog ownership was associated with a 33% lower risk of early death for heart attack survivors living alone and 27% reduced risk of early death for stroke survivors living alone. Dog ownership was associated with a 24% reduced risk of all-cause mortality and a 31% lower risk of death by heart attack or stroke compared to non-owners.
Daily exposure to blue light may accelerate aging, even if it doesn't reach your eyes: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191017101253.htm
Prolonged exposure to blue light, such as that which emanates from your phone, computer and household fixtures, could be affecting your longevity, even if it's not shining in your eyes. New research suggests that the blue wavelengths produced by light-emitting diodes damage cells in the brain as well as retinas.
Humans have salamander-like ability to regrow cartilage in joints: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191009142852.htm
Contrary to popular belief, cartilage in human joints can repair itself through a process similar to that used by creatures such as salamanders and zebrafish to regenerate limbs, researchers have found.

Wolf Singer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Singer
Singer also demands that the lack of free will must have consequences for our conceptions of guilt and punishment: if no one can decide freely from a scientific point of view, it is not useful to make people responsible for their actions. Socially intolerable persons would have to be "locked away" and "subjected to specific educational programs"
