SCIENCE: 'Ageless' animals might give clues on aging in humans.
 
#6
Why exactly would I *want* to live longer? I'm diabetic; there's never going to be a cure for that as long as it remains a cash cow for the pharmaceutical companies. I already can't retire until I'm 72; this would of course extend that. I've got cancer in both sides of my family; again, drug company cash cow.
And furthermore, even if this works, what makes you think that the likes of you or I would ever be able to afford it? Hell, I can't afford health insurance now. How many of us have had plastic surgery to make us look like supermodels or movie stars? Maybe a complete set of dental caps to improve and correct your smile? If you can't afford something as trivial as these procedures, how are you going to afford the literal Fountain of Youth?
I'll tell you how..by mortgaging your entire future to the damn drug companies. Not me. I'll take my appointed span and die satisfied, thanks; not leaving my grandchildren and grandchildren's grandchildren (metaphorically speaking) in debt from birth to death.
