Scientists have made a discovery that could lead to a revolutionary drug that actually reverses ageing.
The drug could help damaged DNA to miraculously repair and even protect Nasa astronauts on Mars by protecting them from solar radiation.
A team of researchers developed the drug after discovering a key signalling process in DNA repair and cell ageing.
During trials on mice, the team found that the drug directly repaired DNA damage caused by radiation exposure or old age.
'The cells of the old mice were indistinguishable from the young mice after just one week of treatment,' said lead author Professor David Sinclair.
Human trials of the pill will begin within six months....

I would choose to live forever. Imagine what it might have been like to live in any of the world renowned cities from the time they were horse stables and watch them grow to become metropolises.
Well, since I know there is an Afterlife ( NDE and other evidence) I would have to be insane to remain alive.
No such thing. Temporary repair of DNA can only extend life, not create immortality.
It’ll be like Bilbo Baggins’ feeling after the One Ring extended his life: you’ll feel “thin, sort of stretched, like (too little) butter scraped over too much bread”.
I think I remember a TV series called “The Highlander.” People who (almost) lived forever.
Christ solved it, just a question of accepting it.
If I could maintain my looks, yes.
The minute I go sea hag, I’m doing a Thelma and Louise.
Such a thing will never happen.
Longer lives, probably.
Forever, never.
Already have chosen to live forever. Eternal life? Check.
What’s the downside?
Dorian Gray?
Dracula?
Your wife lives forever too but turns into Hillary?
There’s a range between fourscore and ten and forever.
Wouldn’t it be nice to (using a phrase of Aragorn’s from Lord of the Rings) be able to give back the gift at an appropriate time of your choosing?
Soros, the Clintons, and Obama would be insane not to take the pill and forestall Judgement as long as possible.
Eternal life offered by anyone other than Christ is a satanic deception and is a guarantee of eternal torment.
We just want to cure for cancer released.
People will go thinking they’ll get Highlander but they may discover its Highlander 2 ....
Assuming the pills only had a limited term effect and would have to be taken in regular doses to prolong a person’s lifespan, I’d consider it. But what if a person ran out of pills? Would the years catch up at an accelerated rate or would they simply pick up where the pause left off?
And could I still retire at age 65 or 67 and collect benefits even if I’m going to live a hundred years beyond that?
At least the averages will work out. The increased early deaths by suicide over the thoughts of Nancy Pelosi and her pals never going away should more than make up for any gains.
And in the case of Detroit, watch it turn back into a horse stable. :)
There can only be ONE!
Live forever in this world? Not in its current state. I do, however, intend to live here forever after the Lord has regenerated it. Someone already bought my ticket for me.
