Yeah, this guy seems like a bit of a mentalist to me. Judging by his beard it looks as though he has been alive several hundred years already, but only just announced his discovery.
I think if this was to suddenly come around it would have far too many complications on our society. Over-population of course is a huge crisis and wouldn't this sort of genetic technology go to far better use making food that doesn't rot or "go-off" to feed the thousands of starving people living in poverty around the world?
I don't like that man.

Not if they sterilised or made the non-aging people sign contracts saying they won't have kids, and didn't let people who already have kids use it. That way you have two choices of immortality, passing on our your genetic code, or not aging.james wrote:Yeah, this guy seems like a bit of a mentalist to me.
