miraculous 'fountain of youth' drug that could extend people's life spans by more than a decade has been developed by scientists.
The anti-ageing pill was created from a chemical found in the soil of Easter Island - one of the most remote and mysterious places on the planet.
In tests, the chemical increased the life expectancy of animals by a staggering 38 per cent.
Although it is not yet suitable for use on people, researchers say it opens the door to the first generation of longevity pills that actually work.
While the breakthrough sounds like something out of science fiction, scientists say the discovery is a major leap towards longer lives for everyone.
The drug, called rapamycin, is currently used to suppress immune systems of organ transplant patients. It is also used in heart operations and is being tested for its anti-cancer properties.
Dr Arlan Richardson, who led the research at the University of Texas, said: 'I've been in ageing research for 35 years and there have been many so-called "anti-ageing" interventions over those years that were never successful.
'I never thought we would find an anti-ageing pill for people in my lifetime. However, rapamycin shows a great deal of promise to do just that.'
The scientists believe that a safer drug could be developed within a decade.
An anti-ageing pill is a Holy Grail for medical research and its development would have major repercussions for society.
In a world where people routinely live to 90 and 100, the retirement ages would need to creep forward into the 70s while extended life spans would put enormous pressures on healthcare, housing and social services - as well as marriages.

I’ve been taking my own formulation of this compound since 1898.
One more thing, never, ever, take a soil bacterium into your body willingly of your life could wind up being a living hell.
Good news for Helen Thomas
LMAO!!
I noticed the same thing. Sloppy reporting.
This sounds like a script from a George Noury show.
That's where my missing bottle went!
Very good! LOL
Gotta love the “science” reporting by the UK media. If the link has .uk on the end, it’s probably sensational garbage.
I’m tired and don’t want to live to be 140.
I’ve earned the big sleep.
