Scientist claims immortality within reach
A visiting American research scientist says he is close to discovering a 'cure' for ageing, that he could have a drug ready for testing by the end of next year.
Molecular Biologist Dr Bill Andrews told TV ONE's SUNDAY programme that humans shouldn't have to suffer from the ravages of ageing. He says that ageing is a disease that should, and could be cured.
His research centres around Telomeres - small caps at the end of our chromosomes that become shorter every time our cells divide.
When they become critically short, we age and eventually die.
Dr Andrews believes that he can find a small molecule that will trigger the production of Telomerase in the body, which will lengthen the Telomeres and stop, or even reverse the ageing process. If he's successful, he says we could all end up looking and feeling 24 years old again.

Hell on earth? Just imagine 500 years of Pelosi and Hitlery.
They’re not 500 years old?
Why? As the comedian Fred Allen had said: “This is only the intermission, the big show is yet to come”
Obama without end.An eternity with Al Gore.
I still like this article:

Hubris. It always precedes the fall.
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:14-16
The thought of living forever in sinful flesh is not appealing.
He is a day late. Already on the market!
LOL! And only $14.99 !!!
I remember reading about the discoveries surrounding telomeres and aging about five years ago. There’s a company that sells a product (which they claim) halts the degradation of the cells’ telomeres, which (they allege) slows down aging.
The papers I read were quite scholarly, and obviously the real deal. I would have given the product a whirl, but for the cost. Pretty expensive.
Did they misspell immorality?
First read it as ‘Scientists Claim Immorality Within Reach’. I couldn’t figure out how things could get much worse.
The govt.’s worst nightmare, a 500 year old retiree still drawing social security.........
Thanks for that timely article, I laughed so hard that now I shall feel totally guilty about it for the rest of my miserable life! (LOLOLOL)
From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no man lives for ever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.
When I was twenty years old, the scientists were saying all I had to do was live ten more years and I would never die. . .
When I was thirty years old, the scientists were saying all I had to do was live ten more years and I would never die. . .
When I was forty years old, the scientists were saying all I had to do was live ten more years and I would never die. . .
When I was fifty years old, the scientists were saying all I had to do was live ten more years and I would never die. . .
When I was sixty years old, the scientists were saying all I had to do was live ten more years and I would never die. . .
Now I am sixty-six years old, and a scientist is saying all I have to do is live one more year and he'll finally have a pill for me so that I will never die. . . they've been moving that damn goal post on me for 56 years.
When I live to be 67 years old, the scientists will be saying all I have to do is live one more year older and I will never die. . . sigh.
I think these swindler's are now just shortening the period so that I will think it may be true.
I think I will do what I have been doing all along, anyway. Put my faith in the Promise of Jesus Christ that I will never die. . . besides, I don't think I want to keep THIS body, with its ever present aches and pain!
I want the perfect one God will give me.
Absolutely,....not a chance....man’s arrogance amazes me.
Immortality in these corrupt clay shells isn’t what God intends.
