I don't know. You diddle your genes and starve yourself.

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.

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.

You make it sound pretty good. I could cut down a little on the homages to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but the beer and wine ration goes no lower!
