From what I've seen, it ain't werf it. If only eating and drinking too much could guarantee a nice quick heart attack at 80 I'd go for it like a shot. I'm planning my exit before it all goes tulip, and I'm not joking either.

By the time most of us get to 90 (for those that do), it'll be nothing like getting to 90 is now.Comment

The last thing i saw a while back some other guys had stopped all ageing in mice - but the mice just died of cancer as their cells just malfunctioned instead of dying off and being replaced as normal. So oddly ageing seems to be an important part of not ageingComment

It'll take some time before this stuff is hammered out and commercialised. I've a very long way to 90, or even 60, so I am hoping by then it will be. Focus had an article some years ago where they predicted that the ageing process would be halted and reversed by 2040. I wish I had kept that edition of it.Last edited by Zero Liability; 3 January 2014, 23:44.Comment
