For me "How long could I get away with driving like an ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE all the time before I lost my licence or had an accident." Speed limits, red lights, stop signs... forget them all. Every day I have to drive sensibly and obey the law because without my licence I dont have a job, and every day I see at least one person driving like an absolute moron and I wonder...

Tons of drug tests on children to know the exact effect they have on development. Also anti-aging research to see how much you can potentially slow down aging and how the self repair mechanism of children works with respect to aging. The results could really give us a great insight into aging well and being healthy later in life.

To clarify, I don't want to see them done, performed, do them myself or anything adjacent because they're deeply wrong and dangerous.

Isn't the main issue in aging the limit of cell division? Cells can only divide a certain number of times.

Maybe find some crazy ass backwards way to produce more stem cells in a person that the body delivers to key areas?

That theory is very outdated. People found out that telemeres are important but not the main driver of aging. A lot of research is Nov going on with senescent cells and epigenetics which looks more promising.

Oh wow. That's neat.
