We should be thankful that we have a limited lifespan. It gives us motivation to accomplish something. So everyone, get off your butts and accomplish something!

Biochemist Richard Passwater talks about mice that had been given Co-Q10.

He kept a control group, and started giving another group the enzyme when they were something like the equivalent of 45 yrs old, human reference wise.

All of the mice who got it outlived all of the mice who didn't get it. The mice who got it live to an average of 130-150 years old human adjusted.

Pretty stunning results for one simple enzyme.

"The lesser mortals should remain mortal."

"We should be thankful that we have a limited lifespan. It gives us motivation to accomplish something."

So therefore, an unlimited lifespan won't give us motivation to accomplish anything?

I bet I could accomplish a ton of things in a few trillion years.
