We could inject this into everybody and raise the retirement age to 80.

Summary: Scientists at the University of Rochester pulled off a remarkable experiment: they transferred a longevity-related gene from the famously long-lived naked mole rat into mice, and the mice ended up healthier and lived longer. The special gene boosts production of a substance called high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which appears to protect against cancer, reduce inflammation, and support healthier aging. The modified mice showed stronger resistance to tumors, healthier guts, and lower levels of age-related inflammation.

I don’t think I’d want to live 200 years.
180 ought to be enough.
We could inject this into everybody and raise the retirement age to 80.
That’s the problem with the rat race. Even if you win. You’re still......a rat.
“The genetically modified mice lived healthier lives and had an approximate 4.4 percent increase in median lifespan compared with ordinary mice.”
Yeah but...bad knees or whatever will make it a long haul.
“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them”.
I’m good, thanks.
Just what the world needs, immortal rat.
