Who wants to live forever? Scientist sees aging cured

[STDiva]

I like to believe that there has already been a person who lived past 150 years. Hell, even 250 years. His name is Li Ching-Yuen, and evidentally he has a Wikipedia page right here.

I wonder how he did it.

Tranquil mind
Sit like a tortoise
Walk sprightly like a pigeon
Sleep like a dog

Ohhhhh.

What if there is nothing after death? With so many living things coming in and out of existence over the billions years seems more plausible then life continuing after death.

What do you mean "what if"?!?
:dunno:

You know the best thing about high school girls? No matter how old i get, they stay the same age.

I believe JRR Tolkien had a point when he wrote that the greatest gift Men were given was the gift of death. Why would I want to live long enough to see how fucked up things get 300 or 400 years from now? That would just prolong the bitterness and pain that life can be.

But the majority of the Men of Númenor did become greedy and wanted eternal life, and look where that brought them.

Glad I won't live to see this. The only way this works is if we stop procreating. Otherwise, I still think it will be possible to starve to death no matter how old science might enable you to live.

Exactly. I have brought this point up before. If the human life span is gonna increase this much, there needs to be something done in regards to breeding. I wouldn't be entirely opposed to a krogan style solution to that problem if need be.

Yeah, let's just change the order of things! :dunno:

Anyone who says "I don't wanna live forever" can just live while they're alive. And then go to hell with Jon Bon Jovi.

Jon Bon Jovi wouldn't go to hell.He'd probably go to heaven with all the
other tossers

As for the "cure" they can take it and shove it right up their arse

Now that would be bloody weird living that long.

Life after 70 has to suck anyway, nevermind 260 or forever.

You have obviously never witnessed the majestic power of Sir Bruce Forsyth!

On one hand it would be interesting to see what the future is going to be like (however disappointing).

On the other I don't think we should live for ever or that we could handle it.

If we live to be 250...
Does this mean we have to go to school till we are 80?
Is the legal age to get laid gonna be 50?
Will there be more saggy tits and mature content on porn sites?
Will our army look like this:

death is part of the circle of life.
