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....

That would be nice but would you be willing to go back to work since it's unlikely your savings and Social Security would be able to sustain you for the rest of ...eternity.
For those on pensions, heck yeah! But forever would be cut short when the government pension fund goes broke. They'd pass a law against giving the pill to pensioners.
People will live forever....for about five months, and then they will seek death and desire to die, but they will not find death.
I have chosen to live forever.
You can make that choice, too.
Here is the way. Seriously.

“Your wife lives forever too but turns into Hillary?”
Hit the nail on the head ... almost - your wife lives forever, but you turn into Hillary ...
Live a little better with fewer aches and pains?
Sounds good.
My understanding is that cell division is programmed in to only happen so many times and when the last batch wears out you die. SO perhaps we are not looking at an eternal life pill, but an lifelong youth pill.
I want to volunteer.
I would choose to take the pill only until I was healthy and then I would die a natural death and be with my Lord.
FOREVER?
Hell no.
Who wants to be around for the heat-death of the universe????
When black holes are winking out in the Hawkings events????
Floating in space forever, with no light or stars or planets any more?
Absolutely not! Going once around the (Un) Merry-Go-Round financially “treading water” will be quite enough, thank you.
I would like to reverse certain conditions though, such as arthritis.
rofl!!
Is everyone else’s life that much better than mine that they want to live HERE forever?
I’m 48 and though i enjoy things, my heart is heavy from different events in life already.
Why would I want to carry that for 200 years or so?
I’ve been close to death. In ICU with a head injury.
It’s not scary at all. you are really at peace and feel like it’s so natural.
My aunts were discussing funeral homes.
Then I lived :)
Yes, I choose to live forever. Not in this frail mortal body, but in my new body like that of the risen Christ. No pill can do that.
Forever, no.
Long enough to see the Left crushed, yes...So my Country and my grandchildren would be safe, and I’d know it.
That would be long enough for me.
Yup!
I am with you.
Stopping them is priority one... and always should be.
Wasn't that the plot in Flashforward? The book, not the TV series.
