Botox treatment on Aisle 13. Fountain of Youth This Way!
I was the first test human for that process. They injected it into my pecker. Yep, the process works.
No, they love how he articulates an argument here on herd nation.
So you're saying it's not so much the the length of the prose as it is how the words flow?
No, that was the intra penile penicillin.
It's a rare indication for this medical procedure, but seeing more action than a Michael Bay movie combined with running into more pathogens than the monkey in Outbreak will do the trick for medical necessity

Can't tell whether you're a doctor or Gene Siskel.
Medical technology is advancing at such a rapid rate, that there are people alive now who could live indefinitely. Within the next 20 years we will likely have cured cancer and all sorts of other diseases, increasing lifespan by years if not decades. So now you have people living to 120 or so. In 80 years can you imagine what will be discovered? Think about what life was like in 1937 compared to now and multiply the increase in technology by a factor of 100.
About 5 years ago after researching aging and looking into longevity, I decided to make living a healthy lifestyle the most important part of my life and keeping my body in optimal shape at all times. I catch a lot of shit from some of my friends when I won't eat out sometimes or because I don't drink, but I'd rather live an extra 20, 30 or 40 years.
Now I just need to watch out and not get hit by a bus or fall off a cliff.

What about if it is 20, 30, 40 years of being in a bed or having to wear a diaper or in pain? Might cost you $5 million and all your assets to live.
Marathon runners can have high cholesterol and all they do is run and eat rabbit food.

So? What else am I going to do with the money if I'm dead? You're also thinking of terms of how bed-ridden people live NOW. Hell, in 80 years we'll probably be able to upload our brains into an avatar or some biomechanical suit that will allow full mobility. Not to mention the subject of this thread, reversing aging altogether.
Sure, anyone can have high cholesterol. I'm not sure what you consider rabbit food, but I enjoy the food I consume, and it's healthy. I eat fish for every meal, with vegetables and certain low-sugar fruits, mostly berries. I eat red meat once or twice per month.
I think in 80 years you are more likely to have seen WW3 and a SHTF scenario.
We can't cure the common cold.
Weeks ago, I intended to start a similar thread about AIDS. Look at how successful our society is with science and medicine even with the restrictions put on it by some politicians.
30 years ago, getting HIV was an immediate death sentence. You were certain to die within months to just a couple of years. Then, 15 years later, science and medicine have made it simply an obstacle and annoyance in one's life. Sure, I am understating that a little, but the gains we have made are amazing. Those with HIV now live decade after decade after decade with little to no daily effects of having the illness.
My grandmother is in her mid-90s. I had this discussion with her last year in terms of science, technology, and medicine.
She didn't live far from "town," but as a child, she would only bathe once per five days. She, her parents, and her siblings, would all share the same metal barrel of water to take turns bathing. Each student would take a potato to school every day to warm on the fire to keep warm for their snack.
A big deal as a child was when a new technology would work that allowed a person to talk to another person a couple of miles away (while allowing others to listen in). Now, somebody on the beach in California can reach into their pocket and get a tiny phone out, call somebody in a dessert in the middle east on their tiny phone, and see each other in real time.
The drastic gains we have made in science and medicine is difficult to fathom at times. It should only increase exponentially as humans continue. The only barrier, which I have spoken out against for 15 years on here, is the success that religion has had in stunting that growth simply due to their belief in ambiguously written books full of falsehoods by barbaric people hundreds of years ago.

I was having a discussion with a group of people a few months ago and I said that I'd rather have HIV than diabetes. It turned out to be an interesting conversation. A couple of doctors who were in the group tended to agree after we discussed it a bit.
If it were Type 1 diabetes, I may be prone to agree with you. I know they have new "pump" like devices, but they aren't great. Injecting yourself multiple times with a needle would be a nightmare. In high school, I would play basketball recreationally against a man who had to shoot-up multiple times. It was painful just to watch.
My uncle's (by marriage) brother died in the early 90s from AIDS. He lived in DC, and I had visited him a handful of times. He was an awesome guy but survived less than 18 months after being infected. I believe his partner died just a few years later. Now, a friend of mine in Austin who has HIV has lived with it for more than five years with nothing other than his medication.
One of the biggest issues, I can imagine, is not infecting others through sex.
This is exactly why I pulled murox and riflearm into this thread. Two of the most vain (sp?) guys I have ever met, actually believing they have a shot at living forever.
I love you guys, but you're both going to die within the next 40-50 years, tops. Might as well accept that. Everybody on here will.

See...the Bible is the reason why we havent cured cancer....but living forever isn't far fetched...according to rifle.
Who believes I have a shot at living forever? Eventually, if religion (and thus politicians) get out of the way, humans will have a very high chance of living much longer than they currently do. Why? Science, bitch.
I am not sure how you are relating one to the other.
I have never claimed that the Bible is why we haven't cured cancer. I have claimed and provided irrefutable proof that religions, including Christianity, have stunted the growth of medicine, math, science, astronomy, and numerous other academic pursuits.
