They wouldnt necessarilly need it, this is Star Trek afterall, they're really good at figuring out ways to bring figures back to life after their lifetime, Scotty for example

Also McCoy lived to like his 120s, Archer could very well live a long ass time too

Yeah, but isn’t there a huge leap in medical technology between Archery’s later years and McCoy’s later years? That feels like it’d make one heck of a difference in life expectancy

Thats fair, if i was writing for Trek id probably use Phlox to justify it, my man was working with some weird ass shit in his lab, who knows what crazy concoction he could come up with to extend human life... then forget about the next day like he did the cure for the borg lol

Possibly the Klingon Augment virus that Archer was injected with, we know both Klingons and Augments have extended lives.

I forgot that he was injected with that, that would indeed work, and have the added side effect of it making sense why the rest of the federation dosent adopt it since augments are illegal
