Who wants to live forever?

I read with interest,that scientist have almost cracked the problem of human ageing.Dr.Aubrey de Grey(very apt name) a geneticist from Cambridge University,has conducted research into stem cells and their use in prolonging the life span of the human race.
He tells us that he would wager someone alive today could still be around for another 900+years!
At the moment they are working on mice which appparently are genetically similar to us.
So the plan is opt for retirement as early as possible then watch the b*****S squirm when they pay us 900 years of pension,not to mention the bus pass!:p

If you lived for 900 years you're probably going to need that lottery win !

Re: Who wants to live forever?

Just a thought but aren't we going to be a bit overcrowded if everyone lives for 900 years? Will there be an embargo on reproduction to make room for us all? And can you just imagine what we'd look like? :eek:

If time speeds up as we get older how fast will it seem to be going at 900 years old?

You would have to have a great life to want to live for ever, just think of all the family squabbles you could have in that time.lol
