Ageing is a "fact" of contemporary life..Not necessarily a "fact" in the future, and that future might be closer than we think.

would be nice to be 20 again instead of 43.

@sexseek23 Anything is possible in life.

Never say never fool.

@mybeaubella The aging was induced by blocking telomerase in the mice. No one thinks that telomerase therapy is the sole key to immortality, but it will likely be a necessary one. DNA repair technology is probably the most important development we need.

@mybeaubella problem is, it causes cancer

What happens to society when we live to be 150? Innovation and new ideas come from the young and as we get older we become fixed in our ideas and it is those who are older that are the decision makers in society. What about paying for additional years of retirement or the lack of jobs if everyone is employed till they are 90?

smoke like a fish,lol

A Harvard team has already found a way to age mice backwards by increasing production of telomerase. They just need to find a safe way to apply this to humans and there we go. Age reversal
