I don't know if I want to live in a 40 year old body for the next thousand years.
This will destroy the social security system. People retired for 940 years!
I can't deal with Democrats and Hollywood types for that long.
"If changing our world is playing God, it is just one more way in which God made us in His image."
It never ceases to amaze me how some folks mistake the term 'image' for 'equal'.
Even when you look in a mirror, what stares back at you is an image. Not an actual replica of you.
I don't have a problem with trying to extend our lives, as long as we don't use bits of babies to do it.

If this does ever happen it will be thousands of years from now.
My 45 year old body works fine. I can kick most 20 year olds' asses on the ski slopes. And I have skied with 60 year old ex-racers who can kick my ass, and who can party hardier, too.
Ping!
Let's not let the liberals know about this technology, OK? I don't want them around for a thousand years. Let them go gently to the reward they've earned, from a maker they don't believe in.
On the plus side, Rush would still be around in the year 3000.
In other words, everybody will be assured a violent death?
Then there's the housing problem it would create.
Big deal. Helen Thomas is already 2,000 years old.
