I'd sign up for the second generation of trials in humans, but somebody else can experience the first round thank you very much. One of the genes they're altering causes cancer in humans when defective. |

I dont think i could stand 800 years in this density in one span. I'll wait until im in 4D and then it will be natural. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 326772You are probably right. There are reincarnational cycles involved that certain soul's need to pass through before they can come back to earth with this inherent longevity scale. It only seems fair since everyone that is old, sick and suffering cannot reverse their degenerative processes...unless they can and we're being withheld from this technology. Either way, this is more natural than you would think. At least in my opinion. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 356762Notice the end result is always FINDING DRUGS. DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS BIG PHARMA IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. Thats my point, its not natural. Its a perversion of nature, even if it is possible. |

I mean look at our problems now with population. No one will have a right to life except based on usefulness to the ones on power. Sounds very Anti-christ. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 325789 United States 01/17/2008 01:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Think however, about the people who are creative - those who can offer much to the world - and giving them an unlimited lifespan in which to do it! Who knows? Maybe if we all thought we had to face 700 years or more of life, we might just change the way we behave toward each other and toward the planet we live on. At least we'd have time to see the results of our mistakes. |

User ID: 356827 Canada 01/17/2008 01:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is now a way to extend the lifespan of organisms so that humans could conceivably live to be 800 years old. In an amazing development, scientists at the University of Southern California have announced that they've extended the lifespan of yeast bacteria tenfold -- and the recipe they used to do it might easily translate into humans. It involves tinkering with two genes, and cutting down your calorie intake. Tests have already started on people in Ecuador. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 326772Nice. So when we have ever increasing number of people living much longer lives lives AND they keep reproducing and those offspring will live ever increasing lifespans, what do we do with the ever increasing population? Soylent green? We already grow most of the food that we physically can and our environmental quality is rapidly decreasing. That aside, what about the less tangible aspects? Could our currently limited lifespans be what makes life so worthwhile? It could be posited that the limited human lifespan is what makes our lives meaningful. I would dare say sheer ennui would settle in by 200 years or so! |
* <-----star of destiny User ID: 279402 United States 01/17/2008 01:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These so called "scientist" have determined what each persons natural body weight is ....IN A WORLD OF MACHINES !!!!!!! LOL I swear to all that is holy, good and right these so called "scientist" are mentally retarded. How can they determine "natural body weight" in a world of machines ???!!!!! lol ...it makes no sense at all !!!! Oiii gaaa vault !!!! There are good scientist then there are really bad awful scientist. I am telling you this now ...they can NOT lengthen the human life span with genetic tampering. All they will wind up doing is bringing the whole human race one giant step closer to the grave. A mass grave it will be indeed. Morons !!! And you know what really pisses me off .....they do these studies to determine if there is any difference in a persons health when that person is given more affection and love and the study proves over and over and over again that yes it does make a difference ....BUT THEY DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO WITH THAT KNOWLEDGE !!!! They think too much and feel too little and THEN THEY THINK THEY ARE SMART !!!! LOL PATHETIC !!!! The answer to all human survival and happiness and progress we live with every single day of our lives and most take it for granted. What a waste. I am 40 years old and i look very good and i feel very good : ) And i get around better than men half my age. keep the dream alive. |

JUST LIKE THEY DO WITH GENETICALLY MODIFIED SEEDS. THOSE IN POWER WANT THE ON AND OFF SWITCH TO ALL LIFE. FUCK THEM ...THEY AINT GETTIN IT ...THIS WORLD WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED BEFORE THEY EVER GET TO THAT POINT. And the beauty of it is this .....they will be the ones who will destroy it with their insatiable need to control lol ...but they will bite off more than they can chew. They want to create a master race ....or more in line with their thinking ...a more controlled race. For whatever sick twisted reasons they have. This is a universe totally in control by God and love and nothing their evil vile disgusting brains can come up with will change that. What the evil ones do is take advantage of your fear of death and your dream of living longer and use it against you. But now the information to their dirty deeds is out there and in the minds and souls of people ...so it will make their dirty plans much harder. Reject the borg society. We MUST reject the borg society. Well it doesnt matter anyway ...the borg society WILL NOT grow here. It will be stopped here on Earth. |

OMG in heaven ...the PTB WANT this research for all the people LOL ...they want it !!! Because it will weaken the people and the PTB will have an easy off switch for the masses if they dont conform properly. Imagine this ....imagine masses of people take the life prolongation injections and then dont conform after that. ....then all the evil "scientist" has to do is introduce a substance into this person that turns that person off. In a very easy way. And those that do conform properly...wellllll...they will live nice long lives huh ? LOL or so the ptb think. LOL I believe they are finding it much harder to pump people off than they thought it was. Look at the ebola disease ...as horrible as it is it still does not kill 100 percent of its victims. How about that : ) The idea of the "master race" did not start with hitler ...and those who supported him are still around and in the "scientific" community. and they are still part of the ptb. |
