Fountain of Youth? (1 Viewer)

[Galileo]

Research involving cellular reprogramming is showing that the aging process is not necessarily a one way street.  After successfully being able to reverse the aging trend of cells (including human skin cells), they have now demonstrated the effect on whole organisms, specifically mice.  Mice are a far cry from humans, and human clinical trials would still be several years away, but these are intriguing results nonetheless.

Where do the FFA's moral and ethical compasses point to on this topic?  Would you undergo such a treatment if it were shown to be viable in humans?

FFA will be the biggest client. Lots of filthy rich old men in here.

Money aside, a lot of people frown on any type of genetic tinkering.  To me, it seems to be an inevitable step in the evolutionary process.

I want to live forever!

Thats would also save a bunch of money on trophy wife mileage.  You would probably only need to upgrade once instead of two to three times qhich is the norm now.

I saw In Time with JT.  This doesn't end well...

 

[James Daulton]

Will they hurry the #### up!  I have maybe 10 good years left!

That's great. It's not like we have too many people on Earth.

Wyoming is pretty empty.

When this happens I am sure a great deal of money will go toward the science of shooting people into space toward distant stars.

In. I can't give them my money fast enough. I could be fit and young and handsome and not fat and virile again?  Let's do it. 10k?  50k?  Just write your number on this napkin.

meh, not so sure one feeds the other...they only got about a 30% increase in the lifespan of the mice.  You could double, triple, hell why stop there...if you could get people to live for 10000 yrs, they still are making it very far.

This is how the zombie virus begins.

I'm in.

Not sure we'll get to full aging reversal in my lifetime (I'm <2 months from 40 now), but I'm sure we eventually will.  Really crossing my fingers it happens in my lifetime.

Start hiding farms. 

 

[Da Guru]

New retirement age will be 75 and Raise the Social Security tax!!

 

[doowain]

Hard pass.  I'm looking forward to the day when I can be a ornery old man.

Reverses the aging process....you'd still be fat.

 

[Osaurus]

Less than half a million folks.

 

[need2know]

Can you imagine how expensive this #### will be?

We'll reverse fatness before aging though

I'm confused by the "and virile" part.

Yes. Absolutely. The political implications of this would be enormous though.

fewer jobs and longer youth - soon we'll have to convert Montana into the National Parents' Basement.
