The first person to live to be 150 could already be living amongst us, and the first to live to 1,000 could be born in the next 20 years. With coming medical breakthroughs, you could one day live long enough to live forever.

The cure for the common OLD.

Jiarn · Jul 6, 2011

People living 1,000 years + the rate of people being born a day? Yeah, that's not looking good.

They'd restrict it to people willing to pay millions of dollars for the opportunity or important government officials. You'd think they'd EVER share immortality with the common man?

I do not want to live 1000 years. I don't even want to live 90 years. Honestly the fact that I'll die is quite a comfort to me.

Dave · Jul 6, 2011

There's no time for us.
There's no place for us.

Allen who is Quiet · Jul 6, 2011

Pfft, whatever guys.

If they can cure cancer, heart disease, arthritis, Alzheimer's...

Living forever won't be too bad...

The just about the only way to die will be losing your head.

We already have boner pills, so there is at least that to look forward to.

Ugh, Heinlein.

Dave · Jul 6, 2011

I have a boner!

I'll kill you, "have" your corpse, and then EAT YOU!

Not if my corpse has you first! For dinner.

Most Heinlein books are shit. But the ones that are good are great!

Damn you, you had me reading all the Highlander tropes, only to see that there is a remake in the works... I could have lived years without knowing that one of my favorite movies is going to get ruined AGAIN.

Shannow · Jul 6, 2011

I, personally, would love to live to a thousand.

sixpackshaker · Jul 6, 2011

Could you imagine how cool Nintendo will be in the year 3011?

Relax, how bad can they really break it at this point... I mean we've already had the travesties that are Highlander 2 and Highlander the Source... how much worse can it really be?

sixpackshaker · Jul 6, 2011

Because it is the remake, not sequel...

I know the original will still exist, but it always seems cheapened somehow when there is more crap added to its universe.

Jiarn · Jul 6, 2011

Yeah, I heard they're trying to remake Star Trek! There's no way that's going to be good, UGH! Ruin my childhood!

sixpackshaker · Jul 6, 2011

What's up with your trolling?

Jiarn · Jul 6, 2011

Just making sure you saw what it sounded like. Nothing else.

If it's still around it'll be exactly the same. I can't wait to buy Ocarina of Time re-releases another 300 times!

Ugh. That's a whole 'nother conversation.

I am still waiting for that Star Trek remake anyway, that film the other day just used the same names... outside of that nothing Gene Roddenberry about it.

It also left a man's decapitated body lying on the floor next to it's own severed head. A head which at this time has no name.

"I KNOW IT'S NAME!"

Officer_Charon · Jul 6, 2011

I know... I KNOW someone wasn't in here talking shit about Heinlein...

makare · Jul 6, 2011

Heinlein sucks balls. But he does it badly. Because he does everything badly. :ninja:

Officer_Charon · Jul 6, 2011

I know where you live... *evil glare*

Also, Starship Troopers. Your argument is invalid.

makare · Jul 6, 2011

Bring it GA bitch.

PatrThom · Jul 6, 2011

They're doing fantastic things with telomerase these days.

There's no way I'd want to put up with all this bullshit for 1,000 years.

Ravenpoe · Jul 7, 2011

On the plus side, if we make politicians immortal, they might give a damn about environmental issues.

General Specific · Jul 7, 2011

And all of the creationists will have to drop their arguments because they will remember back to when orangutans couldn't talk.

Well by now i've realised that i'll probably have to live to 1000 if i ever want to see personal jetpacks and houses on the moon...
