thumbs up if your sick of youtube commercials.

Anyone who thinks this is impossible or a lie is an idiot.

[PragmaticOptimist]

Isn't there a serious moral dilemma here? I mean, 1) we could potentially live forever (excluding any catastrophic events external to the body), which would result in 2) Having to set a limit on how many humans will be allowed to live (due to our limited number of resources). More importantly, who exactly will be receive this "immorality treatment"? It seems as if this could result in wealthier humans having access to immortality whereas the poorer humans would still be subject to death.

Do you guys realise what overpopulation means? :)

[Hermoor]

Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themself on a rainy sunday afternoon.

[Maarttttt]

Is this the guy that wouldn't shave his beard until bin Laden was found?

[TheDarkFenix]

Yes, he'll make it...in 2050 we'll all be talking about aging like we now talk about the plague or something like that...

LONG LIVE THE MICE!!

@TheGeisapleas Other kinds of research into improving life. I'd say increasing cognitive capacity and working in neurobiology to make humans smarter across the board would be a good start - that is, if necessity doesn't dictate more effort be directed immediately towards realistic solutions to the socioeconomic problems which would arise if humans are truly to live eternally.
