I wonder, if there is a use for this after development and tests, whether you'd end up fit as a fiddle at 110, or just spend 30 extra years in a care home: deaf, blind, and defecating?

An extra 30 years of young nurses washing you when you wet yourself?

Oh hell yes, "nurse I have wet myself again, bring the sponge"

More like, "Nurse, my boat's leaking, bring the three bedroom mock Georgian detached house!"



It does mean that smarmy arsewits like me who are looking after their health and expecting a long life due to a change of lifestyle while relatively young will enjoy the extra innings. I'll be the 130 year old stud pulling all the 80 year old hotties in the care home. thumbup I'll wear a T-shirt reading, "I did your gran."

I've no great personal desire to live beyond normal conditions, but I do sometimes feel the need for other people to live dramatically shortened lives.

Reckon if it did work it would be the end of mankind as the worl'ds population would suddenly spike and resource demands would grow too quickly for trauma and war not to ravish the world.

Exactly like it did the original inhabitants of Easter Island, rather ironically.
