Hell, no!

Gee what could go wrong?

Rich people playing God…. Afraid to meet their maker

I don’t think enough people are ever going to want to live forever but age reversal is definitely on the horizon.

> “The results of such mouse experiments, while tantalizing, were also frightening. Depending on how much reprogramming occurred, some mice developed ugly embryonic tumors called teratomas, even as others showed signs their tissues had become younger.”

Grow YOUNGER with CANCER.

There’s a reason cancer cells are called “immortal” cells.

Wait until the Dims hear of this.
Old people tend to vote R. The self appointed elite will at least ration this to their own, if not ban it altogether.

Rich people playing God…. Afraid to meet their maker

I can't understand anybody who would want to delay going home to God. There are some pleasant aspects to incarnation, it's true, but also a lot of pain and grief. I've pretty much had my fill of the latter, but the rise of the evil new world order informs me that a lot more is going to be heaped on us, and to a degree most of us can't fathom.

You are a biological entity and your job is to create another generation and die.

I often why “evolutionary” resources were wasted on procreation

[moovova]

No thank you.

“We all live forever. The question is where? It’s your choice.

I sure don’t want to live in THIS world forever. It gets suckier all the time.”

You win the internet today.

Everyone in that article will shuffle off this mortal coil before one single person on this planet breaks 120 years of life, and the last 20 of those spent in pointless docile senility. It's so Schadenfreudic you just want to burst with laughter. No wait, I can top even that -- most of those people quoted watched Jobs die ... slowly ... and without hope of redemption ...

Come back in a hundred years and fortunately trans-humanist advances will have been completely wiped out by WWIII.

[mowowie]

Yea...
