Long-lived yeast activates your rage gland?
I prefer this to tormenting children until they kill themselves, personally, though I could see the whole 800+ age coupled with human nature, not to mention government, as an abomination.
Hell that would mean I'd have to put up with all the stupid monkeys around me for like forever....
:vom:
No thanks, let me die!

Read on. They think they can apply this to primates.
QuoteThus, billions of organisms die early so that a few better-adapted individuals can grow."
I wonder why this sounds so familiar. :|
I seem to recall reading something in Gulliver's Travels about why living for a really, really, really long time might not be such a great idea. (We can't all be Doctor Who...)
I'd take it. I could literally get off the planet and settle elsewhere if i had to.

Just imagine it. The smell of Ben Gay, the dust being kicked up, the hacking and coughing, the weird fluids emitting from orifices which shouldn't emit anything...

There'd be no smell at all, which makes it all the more horrible.
I am willing to enter a pact with anyone who has the balls that if this happens and they end up putting this shit in our water or something I will shoot you if you shoot me!!! :lulz:
Anything to avoid this.....

MILF and GILF porn will be old hat, and eventually a raging market for Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-GILF pronz will form, hungry for that wrinkly... and the... fluids... moist...
:x
Guys with cataracts and viagra hardons unable to find the hole, not caring, taking whichever wrinkle is handy... :horrormirth:

Dunno, man...oldsters ain't known for their capacity to hold their fluids in, just saying.
My concerns are... if it extends your lifetime to ten times what it currently is, does that mean that the terrible twos will last TEN YEARS? At what point does aging stabilize? I mean, if I could mature by 20 and spend the next 760 years in the prime of my life, then start to decline into old age when I was 780 or so, I'd take it.
But I sure as fuck wouldn't have any kids if pregnancy took seven and a half years, and they didn't leave the house until they were 180... The solution to the population problem would be built right in.
