Anti Ageing Pill created

"A Russian scientist says he has beaten the problem of aging and in just a few years the medicine that stops it will go on sale."

I am quite skeptical about this, it is just so not real. I might even add fake.

If this would ever be sold I would ban the drug, I would rather not mess around with natural order of things.

Living forever would suck. F*ck that.

ThirdMarioBro 09-23-2010 01:45 AM

Living forever would suck, yes, but living a finite life with a young body? Awesome. I know there is a genetic way of doing it, but I doubt it's going to come in a pill. Once again...

Living forever = suck
Never aging = priceless

I'm all for not falling apart bit by bit.

That's a very Amish thing to say. :P

I think it would suck more to know you'd die but never age. Part of being ready to die involves being tired of all the aches and pains and whatnot. If we just stayed young and healthy then one day keeled over.....to me that's worse.

Also, aging is the result of your body breaking down gradually....so anti-aging could theoretically mean eternal life (except trauma and a few other things probably). And I'm with Cure. Eternal life would suck.

BubblyShell22 09-24-2010 12:48 PM

I agree with that. Eternal life would suck, especially since you'd outlive your family and friends. I'll take the aging.

Idiot!

Sign me up.

Finally, the world is catching up to my comic book fueled dreams of life.

Aging, quite frankly, scares the hell out of me. Aging scares me more than death. When you die - you're dead. That's the end. Aging is the slow, agonizing process by which everything you love about life is slowly taken away from you bit by bit until you don't care to keep it anymore, starting with the good stuff.

I'd rather just ride hard and high until the bitter end.

Peanut 09-26-2010 08:46 PM

Who the f*ck actually wants to die someday? Give me a damn break. That's the most obvious/worst way of someone dealing with their fear of death.

Who wouldn't want to live forever and see all the awesome things that happen in the future?

shuriken 09-26-2010 09:22 PM

I don't think I'd mind aging to be honest. There is a time and place for everything, ya know like that song "A time to laugh a time to cry, a time to live a time to die". I eventually plan on having a family and kids and once I'm like 70 and I look like my Grandkid or something it'll be not only unnatural but creepy as well. That's not to say I wanna be a sack of aches and pains, I'm gonna try and live a fairly healthy life so i won't feel the need to take this kinda stuff. But if there are people out there that want this or need this i guess well good for them. Not even sure if it works but yeah. The U.S. is so obsessed with youth I findit somewhat amusing and f*cked up at the same time. Too bad I'm too young and healthy to care.

So...You're not sure how you feel about the process of getting older... at this point in your life? Having aged. Previously. Up until this point.

shuriken 09-27-2010 12:06 AM

Ha, hardly. That phrase was a bit unclear wasn't it? I know exactly how I feel about getting older, but i'm barely 21 and i feel great, and every year i feel better. I know that there is gonna be a point where I plateau and then physically I won't be as fast or as strong as I m now. SO might as well enjoy it while I can and take care of myself, not rely on a pill to live a longer life. That make sense?

And that's about all there is to say.

Kendamu 09-27-2010 02:16 AM

If this is true, sign me up! I'd love to slow down the aging process! I say "slow down" because I just think it's too good to be true that it's actually been "stopped."

Charlotte_Sometimes 10-09-2010 06:20 PM

I'm down with the pill. I wanna see when it gets to be like Star Trek.

My biggest issue with the whole extended life thing is that it wouldnt stop people from making babies. So really, I think we need to focus on expanding human civilization off of earth before the "anti-aging pill". People who live for hundreds or thousands of years is great..until you run out of places to put them.

It'll just push harder for populating other plantes.

But I still want to be a cyborg:lol:

I'd rather see people become immortal by transporting a human mind into a machine.

When can we remove a brain from a body and have that same person live through a robotic one? We see this all the time in sci-fi.

I hope Steven Hawkings can do so before his body finally shuts down.
