[[Scientist claims immortality within reach]]
Isaiah 14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
When nobody dies, the Earth and human habitation will collapse of its own weight.
Silly me, I forgot the remedy will only be available to the elite in Versailles on the Potomac. The rest of us will get Soma and Soylent Green.
God help us!
As soon as he’s dead, he’ll be immortal, alright.
Who would want to live forever, especially in a place full of pain and failure. With all due respect to God’s creation, this place and this life is far from perfect. You want proof? obama voters exist.
But no, God made pain and failure in this life because he doesn’t consider this place and this life as ultimately important. Instead, he considers Heaven and Hell as what truly matters.
The Myth of Tithonus
Every day, when Helios drove his wonderful horses and his fiery chariot across the sky, it was Aurora who opened the gates of pearl and drew back the dark curtains of the night; for Aurora, goddess of the dawn. She was so beautiful that the whole sky flushed pink with pleasure when she appeared in the east.
On the earth lived a mortal called Tithonus, who loved Aurora so well that he never failed to leave his bed while it was still dark, to watch for her coming. Aurora loved Tithonus in return, and one day she flew to the king of the gods, and begged of him that Tithonus might be given a draught of nectar, and so become immortal.
Jupiter granted this request, and Aurora took Tithonus up to Mount Olympus to live in her golden house.
The goddess had forgotten to ask that Tithonus might never grow old. Therefore, the time came when gray hairs could be seen among his golden curls. Aurora was kind to him in spite of this, and continued to give him beautiful garments, and to feed him on ambrosia. Still, Tithonus grew older and older, and in time, after several hundred years, he was so very old that he could not move at all. Little was left of him but his voice, and even that had grown high and thin. Then he withered away so much that he had to be shut up in a room, for safe-keeping. Aurora felt so sorry to see him withering away in this manner that she changed him into a little insect, and sent him down to the earth again, where men called him the grasshopper.
Very glad to be free and active once more, Tithonus hopped about in the fields all day, chirping cheerfully to Aurora.
Even if they “cured” aging we would all eventually die in an accident, in around 800 years or so on average. I saw this stat in a scientific journal a while back.
This is great news, I can collect SS and Pensions for another 100 years???
This is July 4th, not April 1st.
Immortality.
Sheesh!
Just think how many more people we can produce, wouldn’t that be great, then we can blame global warming on breathing?
Think of all the time one would have to plot revenge(s)
Rev 9:6
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Not quite that simple, most cancer cells already express telomerase, so unnaturally increasing it could very well increase one's chance of getting cancer.
He is completely wrong and not worthy to be called a scientist. It is not a disease. It is a natural process, just as growth and development are.
If he means delay the aging process, ok, but that isn’t what he said.
On the plus side the cure won’t work on liberals and progressives.
Oh great, now I get to die in a firey car crash!
Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Telomeres are a crucial factor in cell death. Anything that lengthens them does increase the life of the organism.
Certain foods and supplements are known to help maintain and increase their lengths. There are currently supplements out there that have been shown to increase telomere length.
I already solved that one.
Just say yes to the Son of the Creator of the universe.
