Want to Live Forever :: Scientists Working to Make Humans Immortal

Remember the movie “Death Becomes Her” where actresses, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn drank a magic potion that promised eternal youth? Well, immortalization isn’t just stuff we see in movies anymore, scientists are actually working on making this fiction into a reality.  Yeah, you heard right, researchers at Cambridge University are developing research to reverse aging.


 Don’t believe me?  Check the news clip yourself


The average life expectancy in the United States is 77 years old and as the reporter mentioned in the clip , no human has lived past 125. Imagine living to watch your children’s children, and their children, and their children and so on, grow up.  Who wouldn’t want that?

Really though, I’m still on the fence about it.  77 years is too young to go, but I think what makes us appreciate life is realizing that it’s short. I also wonder if this actually means that humans would stay forever young or would we continue to age.  What would an 1000 year old look like? What do you think?  Would you want to live forever?

    Good post! If my quality of life suffers, than I wouldn't want to live forever.
