fight aging - extend your life

The Longevity Meme -- live healthily - fight aging - extend your lifeThis is a really interesting article, the author predicts using models that the average human life span could be extended (with you looking youthful the entire time) to around 1000 years. Would you choose to do this??? do you want to see the future? would we become more intelligent if we had the oppurtunity to learn more? Would this only be available to the rich Western societies? He's used death models to show how many people die in different countries every year from natural causes!! staggering number of people karking it every day!! His figures reckon that in the entire history of man around 34 billion of us have walked the planet of which 28 billion have already died!!

Information can be used badly and it can also be manipulated to prove the case for harming people and countries. Seems like we are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, here's hoping for regime change in Washington later on in the year. Principles shoule be an inherent trait of government not a 4 year term of office
