Anti-aging breakthrough could increase human lifespan to 150

An extraordinary new anti-ageing technique could see humans live to 150 years old and allow them to regrow their organs by 2020.
Harvard Professor David Sinclair and researchers from the University of New South Wales developed the new process, which involves reprogramming cells.
Dr Sinclair said the technique could allow people to regenerate organs, and even allow paralysis sufferers to move again, with human trials due within two years.
The same researchers also found they could increase the lifespan of mice by ten per cent by giving them a vitamin B derivative pill.

People living to 150 will crush economic systems.

Great, so boomers will be with us for another 80+ years?

Does this mean we'll have to suffer for 90 more years of Nick Saban as Bama's coach?

Imagine how fricking senile a 150 year old would be.

You would need some sort of artificial reset. You can’t just expect a system to just evolve to include an extra 60 years of life.

I mean people live twice as long as they once did. I’m fine.

Messing with he natural order will lead to inevitable side effects.

The only thing keeping newspapers alive is old people. Now, when the newspaper industry is about to fail they suddenly find a way to make old people live twice as long? I’d like to know who funded this research.

Hopefully this gets FDA approval right after the last boomer dies

Na you just wouldn’t get to retire until 120 years old lol
Posted on 9/2/18 at 3:12 pm to RollTide1987
Will it make my skin firmer, a la Death Becomes Her? I don’t want to live to be 150 if I’m already this far gone at 37.
Posted on 9/2/18 at 3:13 pm to RollTide1987
I don't want to live that long

It's a legitimate concern that's already creeping up.
