    If translates to humans, could we someday view Justin Timberlakes opus "In Time" as a prophetic warning from our Illuminati masters who obviously already hold the secret in their hands?

    It doesn't mean you will last forever though. You will still die, but at a much later date.

    ideally what would happen is that you'd have different leagues each with an age limit. There could be an over 40 NBA where guys can ball. This way it still keeps the integrity and historical importance of the NBA but old guys that can still play will still have a stage to perform at.

    Then imagine the all star game could be NBA vs. Over 40 NBA, would be a ratings success.

    Bring this on.

    I doubt the scientific community has had a chance to review their claims. Before I believe in this, I will wait till they publish their findings and have other scientists review, refute, accept, etc.

    If you do this, you shouldn't be able to qualify for Social Security and Medicare.

    This is a bad idea.
    Not until you can boost the efficiency of the world's resources should you start to tamper with the lifespans of humans. Overpopulation is bad.

    to qualify, you cannot have children of your own and must adopt.

    GNRH's anti-aging properties have been known for a while and it is already part of a cocktail of HGH secretagogues that the anti-aging doctors are using to replace supplementation of HGH to keep old folks looking and feeling young.

    I'm all about that ****.

    I have a strong suspicion that professional athletes are already using HGH secretagogues to come back from injuries and prolong their careers.

    who cares, if you are scared of overpopulation and its effects, no one is forcing you to live. Just die at 85 by yourself. The rest of us can risk it.
