	God will help those who hlep them selfs Put an end to popups!

Looks like we've helped our selfs in someway because scientist have discovered a while ago why we age and they have managed to make worms that usualy live 2 weeks live 4 months. They plan to have medication out within 15 years that would make us live twice our age. Meaning that when you are 40 you would have the body of a 20 year old and when your a 100 you have the body of a 50 year old. All this depending on when you start to take that medication.
So if I would start taking it today, I'm 25, I would end up living up to 125 years of ages but having the body of a 75 year old. I think that's great. I would love that! If it took 360 million years for evolution to make me, I'll certainly double my time here. All this being assured that I have no physical consequences of course.

Are you for it?

Aging in multicellular animals is to a large a side effect of defenses against cancer. There are multiple mechanism to limit cell divison. This means that cell quit replacing themselves after a while and worn and damge tissues are not replaced. This is necessary and selected for, because withit, must multiceellular creature would die of cancer before breeding age. Thus this part of biological mortality, rather than being integral to existance, part of a specific defense mechanism. If the thread of cancer were removed, then humans could evolve (or be engineer) to delete this part of mortality.

No cancer==no evolution

Human's already have the least amount of cancers of any animal species.

Spiffer, my goal was really to get an answer....eventhough I'm happy my thread is back up here, it's a matter that interests me very much.
As for the music question, try looking for Groovy Aardvark, Les Colocs, La gamic, Celine Dion , offenbach, Eric Lapointe. I named you the popular ones. I dont like them all but you might....hey, nobody has the same tastes.

Albert Speer: That "medication" would probably be ruled for certain parts of the globe only. Like here in North America population is dercreassing very slowly, but when the babyboomers die we will be in need of human ressources.....even before then they die because they are all going to be retiering soon. Also the birth rate in north america is of 1.4 kids per family. That's less than what the death rate is. And So it could create a balance.

Dissident: ok.

Spectator:

If this is the problem you are trying to solve, this new pill will not fix the problem of a lack of human resources, it will merely delay the inevitable.

So long as we have a birthrate below 2.1, to account for those who die before having children, our population will always be declining. Immigration is a temporary solution, so long as the immigrants are available, but some projections show the population of the world decreasing within 50 years.

Suppose we have this pill. You will increase the population for a while, as the death rate drops substantially. In another 50 years, we will be right back to where we are now, except with a population distribution that much older.

No because people will have time to raise an 18 year old and then make a new baby if they want. So in a life time people will have more children in one longer liftime so it fills the gap.

Would the pill increase the length of time for which people are fertile?

Even so, what you are asking for is an increase in the birthrate. For people who only want 1 child, or don't want to have children at all, this pill will not increase the number of children born.
