[Bill_o'Rights]

It’s always tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes.

[cripplecreek]

Dammit. If I wanted to live forever, I sure as hell would have wanted to be younger than 65 forever.

[Jeff Head]

So, he thinks he’s going to die at 81?

[rdl6989]

Man plans, God laughs.

[Brilliant]

Assuming Obama doesn’t pull your plug, that is.

[max americana]

The same people who foretold of flying cars, heading to the moon for vacation and California being underwater due to the “melting glaciers’.

[Man50D]

That’s one way to avoid government run health care.

[Ann Archy]

What an IMBECILE.

[fanfan]

Within 25 years we will be able to do an Olympic sprint for 15 minutes without taking a breath, or go scuba-diving for four hours without oxygen.

Sure, it's all fun and games until someone plants a virus in the nanobots.

[Twotone]

Considering how often computers breakdown & malfunction, what’s going to keep all those nanobots working properly?

[Lancey Howard]

Congress can then raise the eligibility age for social security and medicare to, oh, 1 million.

Immortality only 20 years away says scientist

As much as I'd enjoy not having to worry about aging or death, it's not terribly realistic. And it's not beneficial to the individual or to the planet.

I hope I have enough time to come to better terms with it. But death does really scare me, despite my own spiritual beliefs.

[brytlea]

I thought it said “immorality” and I thought...sheesh that’s already here!

[Little Ray]

Sure. Right. Immediately after we get the fusion power plants working.

Besides, who would we really want to make immortal? Can you think of anybody?

[catfish1957]

Hey its already been done. Look at Helen Thomas.

[Mr. Blonde]

From the “[stuff] my dad says” Twitter: “Why the **** would I want to live to 100? I’m 73 and s***’s starting to get boring. By the way, there’s no money left when I go, just fyi.”

[brytlea]

The blue screen of death will take on a whole new meaning...

[billorites]

"Assuming Obama doesn’t pull your plug, that is."

Let him try.

Between Carbonite, Mozy and my 3TB RAID I figure I'm pretty well backed up.

[brytlea]

I would just like to feel about 30 until I died.
