So maybe we could live six times as long if we forced our bodies into this extreme crisis mode and simulated starvation
I wish I had read this before lunch
Even if you only lived the same time, it would seem like six times as long. If you did live six times as long, it would seem like 36 times as long, or like you died and went to Hell.
Don't fall for it! It is an enviromentalists scheme to rid the earth of people. :-)

and worse, what if you lived 36x longer and it seemed like Hell as you say, then you died and actually went to hell...I call that loose, loose
I should have had the extra fries at lunch
I don't know. You diddle your genes and starve yourself.I doubt that it'd actually feel like you were starving. I for one would take the pill. (As long as my body wasn't 6 times more frail than I would be at age 80 anyway!) But I don't think that's what happens in these cases. The very old animals in these tests look & act like they were in the prime of their lives, right up until the end.Even if you only lived the same time, it would seem like six times as long.

LOL, my 85-year old mom insists on a glass of good wine with dinner. But only because of the health benefits, of course. My 88-year old dad is happy to go along with that.
No kidding. If you thought useless welfare deadbeats are bad now, just wait until its a "civil right" for them to hang around and leech off of the rest of us forever.
That's right about perpetuating the deadbeats of society!
I "had" to watch a movie on the plane yesterday morning, called "Island". They produced clones to replace organs and tissue of "real" people. Only cost $6 million per clone. But, wouldn't you know it, the clones revolted!!! ROFL!
Well, I understand completely. Seriously. When the time comes please ping me and I will be happy to take that pill off your hands!
Cool! So I'm NOT wasting precious life on FR--there's so much more to come than I realized!
Sure it is. When God created Adam and Eve, they lived for hundreds of years. Over time, due to sin, genetics deteriorated and shortened our life spans. There's no evidence here of accidental improvement in life span.
Oh please. The Bible is not a scientific paper. The Old Testament was written approximately 2500 years ago. There is no mention of evolution, airplanes, computers, or football. As Krauthammer wrote today, why do some people create a conflict between science and religion, when none need exist?
What would you envision yourself doing at the age of 450, assuming you would live naturally for a further 50 years after that?
Okay, I'll bite: How did "genetic deterioration" *add* a gene?
For that matter, how does "sin" cause "genetic deterioration"?
And how did "sin" add this same gene to most (perhaps all) eukaryotic organisms? Does "genetic deterioration" add the same gene to millions of life forms at the same time?
I think your thesis needs work.
Yelling at those 300-year-old whippersnappers, telling them to get off my lawn!
Debiting my universal account for whatever treatment will keep me alive 500 more.
