It is my assumption that for most people, the goal of
‘looking younger’ is completely separated from the goal of
‘living forever’. One is based on a healthy level of ego and vanity, while the other is based on delusions of being indespensible + never truly becoming satisfied with any state of being.
I really hope none of their evil schemes work to make them live an extra day longer than they should because it will be reserved for the very rich and not made accessible to the entire human race.
The one great equalizer in the entire world is no matter how much money or lack of money; we all have an expiration date with nature and God.
Improving health is one thing. Reversing age is another.
How foolish we are.
And I bet they are going to do lots of evil things in their pursuit of immortality.
AKA the Jack Benny treatment.
The only thing they can do is help keep people from falling apart as fast.
They don’t need to mess with this.
All they need to do is identify and take things that help lengthen cells’ teleomeres.
Lots of room to improve and find things that do that.
Also instead of messing with genes, develop better medical energy devices that regenerate diseased and/or injured tissues faster. Current cold lasers and diathermy units are great and significantly speed up healing of injuries, but they aren’t incredibly fast.
Rewinding to age 18 would be fun.
I think of Young Frankenstein and the Monster’s sophisticated “Man About Town” tap dance performance.
Mostly because these people love to describe themselves as “Sophisticated”.
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.
Most people who live to extreme advanced age say it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Everyone that means anything to them is dead, often including their children.
They haven’t read Gulliver’s Travels.
Will Dr Mengele be there?
People need the Lord, not some new human effort that will end in a curl-alt-delete.
Uh, no. You are a biological entity and your job is to create another generation and die. That has been the game for 4.5 billion years, despite what your computers want.
Hell, no!
Gee what could go wrong?
Rich people playing God…. Afraid to meet their maker
> “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.
No thank you.
