Forever young: Secret of eternal life revealed by Russian science?

The sad truth is, they haven't cured anything for quite some time. They're all to happy to sell 'treatments' but 'cures' are unprofitable. Hence my original statement: If it's legit, and it was developed in the US, it would never see daylight.

If you really feel strongly about this, why don't you do a bit of research... Take one of those top killers I listed (or any uncured disease) and find out what causes it. Then think about ways you might be able to stop it.

IE Cancer: Cancer is (generally) caused by a defect in cell DNA that allows cells to divide uncontrollably (in other words, the body says "stop growing" and the cancer says "fuck off lol"). The genetic defects can be randomly acquired mutations, from carcinogenic mutagens (including nicotine, sunlight, and X-rays), to inherited genes. Currently, cancer can be stopped by radiation therapy (destroying the cells so hard they can't replicate at all anymore) and surgery (removing the cancerous cells physically). The difficulties in drug treatments include specifically targeting the cancerous cells, and getting the cancerous cells to actually respond to stop or die signals.

Most forms are basically randomly occurring time bombs with a fairly high survival rate if caught early.

There will always be disease and there will always be diseases that are uncurable. That is just a fact of life. As good as we are at destroying bacterial infections, they can evolve faster than we can eradicate them. I think we've cured everything that is 'easy' to cure, and what remains is really tricky stuff.
 
Playing God, weeeeeeee.
When it is my time to die, I will face it as a learning experience.
 
Sure he will. He will have evolved to a transcendent being and surf the astral planes while listening to the most awesome, dissonant doom/drone you can't imagine.

but seriously, if this drug does work then it probly will be expensive enough and as i believe someone above me just said, do we need people living linger, the worlds resources are draining, and we're getting a little over populated, dont mean to sound really morbid, but people must die, althoguh it will still be interesting to see what the drug can do when fully tested and refined
 
do we really need more people to be living longer?

That would absolutely be the last thing for humanity to do now. Ever-increasing birthrate and nobody ever dies?

If the termitator is ever going to exist, he will soon come from the future to hunt this guy down.
