Don't worry, there are people out there researching exactly what you're after, why? Imagine someone said you could live forever, wouldn't it be so easy to put down the $1 million dollars you earned in the last 15 years if you knew you'd live for another thousand? It's a big money area, they just have to make the right breakthroughs: If you could stop your telomeres shortening for example, you might not age.

Every time linear eukaryotic chromosomes are replicated during late S phase, the DNA polymerase complex is incapable of replicating all the way to the end of the chromosome

You do know that they are researching on how th reduce the free radicals that come loose when you breathe in oxygen, the things that eventually break down your DNA and kill you. Gotta love the irony though, the one thing that keeps us alive, also kills us.
Yeah, he says that word for word.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm 100% sure that you are going to die in the next 100 years, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. If you're so worried, quit bitching in an online forum and live while you can...
Anybody wanna live forever? I know someone who can help you with that . . .
Ok desert, if this means so much to you...
This is what you do, and I'll back you up..
Go to school and learn everything...
Then.
Figure out how to build us robot bodies, a way to transfer our brains and hearts into armored Humanoids with rockets, guns and lasers...
And I'll buy one...
Get started I'll be waiting... P.M. me when it's ready...
*Rubs hands together*

Say the average life expectancy is around 80, I am a quarter of the way through my life. Fuck, that is so morbidly depressing.
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
I'm halfway...
you still have 3/4ths left.KILLSWITCH wrote:

I don't wanna live longer than 80 years, life sucks if ur old
Yeah, I'm right there too, but Id rather die at 60 then spend 20 years wasting away. I see old people in wheelchairs and hunched over walkers, and i think "someone better shoot me if i get like that"KILLSWITCH wrote:

I think i'll take up skydiving at 50...
Lol I probably wont live till 80 anyway, that was being optimistic. Like most of the English in their early 20's, I drink too muchCommieChipmunk wrote:
