Scientists Reverse Aging In Human Cell Lines
Eloking writes: Professor Jun-Ichi Hayashi from the University of Tsukuba in Japan has discovered the regulation of two genes involved with the production of glycine are partly responsible for some of the characteristics of aging. With this finding he has been able to "flip the switches on a few genes back to their youthful position, effectively reversing the aging process." The Professor's findings cast doubt on the mitochondrial theory of aging, which proposes that the accumulation of mutations in the mitochondrial DNA are responsible for aging.
I guess that means the current pricks running things will run things forever...yay
Google wants to patent everything, including the means to reverse aging. Don't be evil Google!
We are already post evolution. Now we are getting up to re engineering! And before you start of with the "billions of years of evolution optimal mother nature" crap. Life is clearly *not* designed and could do with a bit of a intelligent designer if you ask me. there is always a better way, and just trying random things is not the best way to find it.
If information wants to be free, why does my internet connection cost so much?
Why does this shit get spewed forth every fucking time. By that logic we should never treat anyone for anything. After all artificially long life spans are clearly evil and will cause the downfall of all that is good. Just like comics, pron, video game, cell phones, self driving cars, robotics, AI... in fact crawl back the your cave while you still can.

You won't 'live forever', you just won't die of old age.
The force that blew the Big Bang continues to accelerate.
