My wife said that she wishes I was more useful, I intentionally misheard her and am ready to sign up for trials:-

Scientists have successfully reversed the aging process in mice according to a new study just released. Human trials are to begin next, possibly before the year is over. The study was published in the peer reviewed science journal Cell after researchers from both the U.S and Australia made the breakthrough discovery. Lead researcher David Sinclair of the University of New South Wales says...........

Only the very rich and powerful will benefit from such a breakthrough, meanwhile back in reality hgh and trt produce beneficial results.

So Fear is likely to live for ever then?
 
Be my luck to end up bloody immortal. God, how awful!!!!

I wouldn't mind going at 60 so you can guarantee I will live til 120 ! Lol


The studies on cells, stem cells, etc etc. what we would have thought impossible 20 years ago will no doubt be common practice one day. They think they aren't too far off cures for arthritis and such afflictions.

Don't mind a bit of aging, but must admit, I'd love my eyes not to look so black and tired, think that is more illness than age though!

Always hate looking at the Hollywood stars who have had surgery to reverse aging, think most look far worse than they would have if they just let nature do it's thing.

Interesting stuff from that link. Years away one would suspect.

As long as your still alive surely the fact that it's years away is irrelevant, just reverse all those years of aging. Lol :14:


 
Can you imagine the state of affairs on this planet if we all lived forever or amounts of years, we can't sustain a moral decent class of living happy society standard of living now, imagine what would happen if this became the 'norm', nah sod this i will grow old gracefully plus i already have big ears so that is one less thing to be bothered about changing as i get older ;)
 
Clive, I appreciate your sentiment but somehow doubt you have ever done anything gracefully. lol


 
Think they are meaning the signs of aging, not actually reversing aging aren't they?! I'll re-read.

LOL, yes, good point Villan of the North (post before your last one)
 
Bit ambiguous, but no, think they are talking actually aging. I looked at the image and saw that as signs of aging.

I'd rather a better quality of life, not sure I would want a massively longer one, surely at best 100 years would do most people?! You might reverse some of it, but your brain gets tired of the constant pressures in life doesn't it?!

Too right :17: :19:
 
Agree Fear, headaches kill me now worrying and stressing about stuff, just surviving is a battle this day and age so stuff living over 100, fook me i would me even more insane than now, and i am already close to the cookoo nest and that rocking chair i tell ya,

If they could make me look like i was when i was 19/20 and go pulling the fit 30 year olds that would be bad news for the Mrs, i would pull a right fit 30 something year old oh the thought siiiigh!

 
I am not a mouse so could this apply :17:

Seriously Clive to be around that long: Do you really want to be supporting Villa :10:

I have my own way of holding back nature ravages: It is called facial yoga exercises daily. No recovery process and cost nothing, except 5-10 minutes a day in with my usual routine
 
I do wonder how long people would really like to live?

Some seem so hung up in death, I think quality of life and also leading a full life is a better thing to focus on.

Not sure I would want to linger, partly as my body is ever so slightly battered now, let alone in fifty years time. I guess if some of that was cured... But still, surely at some point you would just get tired?

Also, how would, apart from as Juan says the ultra rich, fund living longer.

Hmmmm. Interesting. As the wise philosopher Freddie Mercury (!!!) sung, who wants to live forever?
 
It doesn't matter who you are, the only guarantee you have got in this life, is births and death. No one gets out of this life alive.

When I was younger death scared me, like it did/does many. Now I don't embrace it as I still have a hunger for life, however I no longer fear it.

Once the hunger for life has gone( no purpose covertly) then I think we are all ready to go. Life is hard, for some harder than others.

I watched the life physically go out of my Mom who had dementia. She was ready to go

I can recommend the Robert Heinlein book, Time Enough For Love, the story of Lazerus Long, the oldest human in the univers, kept alive by scientific and medical advances to the ripe old age of 2000. It must be about 20 year since I read it but I seem to remember it being a good read.


 
considering what i wad like late teens and to mid twenties i will be amazed if i live to see 70. if im alive at 75 i will be over the moon. i DO NOT want to be alive and have to rely on others. i would rather pass on of that was the case
 
Yeah,that's the way I think, the ops and all that have taken an effect now, it won't get better.

My parents are reaching their mid 70's and both keep saying they don't want to go into homes etc, they'd rather pass.
