...said deleting the gene altogether in yeast resulted in a dramatically extended life span - up to six times longer than normal - when combined with caloric restriction and/or a mutation in one or two genes, RAS2 and SCH9, that control the storage of nutrients and resistance to cell damage.But how about when not combined?
Though I can believe folks who eat less would tend to live longer. Less scale to clog up the pipes.

I always had a sneaking suspicion that immortality -> no sex drive. I mean, living forever obviates the need to reproduce, right? Sex only feels good because we wouldn't do it otherwise, and it's kind of necessary that we do it.

When mankind can live to 200 years wars will be way less prevalent. People will also be way more careful in how they live their individual lives.
The sociology of greatly increased life spans is fascinating to contemplate.

Nothing worse than making whoopie when you're hungry and have food on the mind.
