Just think of all the additional years of diligent service our Congress members can offer us!

They can get more years of service out of us while charging us for this miracle drug. We'll have to keep working to afford our medical bills
I don't know that I want the current elderly generation to live longer. Can we hold off on this for.... Idk, say, 15 years until they all die off naturally?
Why? So that you can live longer and the next generation can whine about you?
I already don't like voting. I'm pretty sure most millennials only vote because there's generally one insane option, and one complete lunatic option, and we just want things to get worse as slowly as possible.
Give us anything that resembles rational and we'll just let the next generation take the reigns.
what happens if you take it and then stop? Since it adds somekind of antibody, what if it starts replacing/ degenerating your bodys natural system and you get some horrible withdrawal effects if you stop taking it?
Imagine having to pay subscription to stay healthy / alive

This is everyone who takes medication to manage a disease/disorder.
I'm sure they already have the four colour glossy brochures ready for distribution, as well as financing scenarios for the less cash endowed, so that nobody feels excluded. Who wouldn't skip a few meals to be healthy after all?
Oh, good. WCGW? I’m sure the shot will be widely available for a low cost, right?
Not sure we need to "cure" aging...
Could someone get to work on curing stupid first? Then we can work on the aging part.
If we can live just as long as we do now but in better health it would be amazing.
Sir/Madame Trebuchet, your cousins of the weighted blade are already a tried & true solution to aristocrat aging.
Also, I think I just found the name for my new anarcho metal band — if you're available to fill in on timpani/kettle drum, et al.
Plenty of underfunded extremely disabling illnesses to spend money on instead of “curing” aging to fulfill rich able bodied people’s fantasies.
Sounds good but likely nothing will come of it!
The only thing holding biology and its thousand medical fields is its self imposed ethical restrictions! We can genetically modify rats to have or not to have genetical diseases; we can make them bigger, stronger, live longer… We can make them fucking glow in the dark! But by being in the same class, we are very very very different animals! The large majority if invented medicines will go nowhere as they are almost exclusively tested on rats until the finished product is tried to be licensed…
Not to be misunderstood, I don’t want thousands of baby girls to die in testicular cancer! Nor do I know of a better way, I am just mildly annoyed at the holdback in holding up our duty to humanity
The rumours suggest China is harvesting organs from uighar prisoners. What's to stop them from using them to test various chemicals?
International backlash if they wanna use the data as the entirety of its research must be made available to the peers, you can’t forge 1000-s of case studies! Could be done retroactively, but that would add 5-10y down the line
Also do you know how insanely expensive organs are? I really don’t think those are used for research
I think people should age, I think max 80 years is good and after that you are just being a dick
Supercentenarians show us up to 120 years at a high quality of life (everything else is being a dick) is feasible in theory.
Sure we can go for longer but we shouldn't, people need to die, and those 120 year Olds ain't working so they ain't worth shit, 80 gives you enough time to work a give back and than enjoy and than fucking die.
and after that you are just being a dick
Not me. I've started much earlier!
