See my comment on the article below mark's post.

My comment on this article and towards some of those commenting: 9 January 2011 10:21PM John Gray and everyone else asking inane questions like, "Why'd you want to live forever?" or saying, "a really long life would get boring", well you all get my nomination for the Extreme Darwin Award. This means whether you've reproduced or not you are ignorant enough to pass up the chance to see your great^nth grand kids and aid their starts in life in a wonderful new world to come. Why wonderful? Because of the obvious trend always for the better. We live a whole lot better now than at any time previously in history despite 24/7/365 it bleeds it leads news coverage highlighting the worst around the entire planet. Statistically we live in the most peaceful per capita time ever. Crime rates have never been this low. Doubters to this need to realize 100 years ago you'd likely never hear of a tsunami half way around the world from you and its high death toll or the latest earthquakes that happen all the time and have always done so. So you are brain washing yourselves into doom and gloom think. Get the real facts! Now let's be clear "Forever" is just shorthand for indeterminate life span where you choose how long to live or maybe a catastrophe personal or public does. We in the life extension movement have answered all the niggling little unimaginative or ignorant questions about overpopulation and getting out of the way for the next generations and ooh what about the environment?, quite satisfactorily for anyone paying close attention. I won't go into all of them here but the naysayers should get off their couches and posteriors and learn what Accelerating Returns, which by the way extends far beyond computer chips, really means for yourself instead of buying this mouth piece's load of male bovine excrement. Here's a little something for everyone's edification. When the governments, this one being the US, get the point enough to go public with their findings, then it's not hubris and wishful thinking anymore.

Therefore please don't take advantage of coming therapies to extend your life and rejuvenate your health and youth because frankly we don't need you dragging us down. So Gray, you are officially not invited to the grandest thing to ever happen to humanity ever. James Swayze Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=33205
