While this is (unfortunately) a hypothetical case, this is how I'd deal with the discovery of an immortality drug.
So is 'Being Human' (US) actually going to turn out better than 'Being Human' (UK)?
'One of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them: It is a well known fact, that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. Anyone who is capable of getting themselves…
You know, I have to say that I don't buy most of the speculation around Lindsay Lohan I see on Gawker (and related).
"It would create an economic catastrophe the likes of which has not been seen in modern history."
Optimistic.
Good link. I now want to buy a SAAB 9-5 but I can't. :(
You're the tool. There are no original ideas, everyone develops their work from what came before. As it happens, herogear posting above you makes a better argument.
I'm looking at the top picture of Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman and all I can think is: Take me, I'm yours.
Who would vote for a President Gooche? Presumably someone who isn't infantile and who doesn't follow society's whims, like a sheep.
Someone once said to me that that while the amount of money spent on nuclear weapons during the cold war amounted to trillions upon trillions of dollars, how much do you think was spent on curing ageing in humans?
...but it also raises some intriguing possibilities about what the nature of life on this planet might be if any exists.

It is true that (for example) eating Foxgloves to help the heart was dismissed as an 'old wive's tale' until a scientist discovered Digitalis (present in Foxglove plants) but this is the age of nanotechnology aided microbiology. Do you seriously…
Just a small point here; Dúlamán is the Irish for seaweed and I mention it because there are several companies marketing Irish seaweed. I doubt that seaweed from Japan or elsewhere is all that much different from Irish seaweed (or New Zealand or France or anywhere really) and I'm sure that prices for Japanese seaweed…
I agree but I also think that the term 'Young Adult' has been stretched a bit too much. When I started reading 'Epic' and 'Heavy Metal' I was around 14-15 and the term they used then was 'Recommended for Mature Readers'. Made sense to me. I don't agree that age is necessarily a function of maturity.
Wooohoo! Freedom! Freedom by approval!!
You also sound like a shill. Just saying.
I'm going to Canada from Ireland later this year and I'm looking around for the best travel plan that'll let me get to Canada without even sniffing American airspace. I know that if I had to go through an American airport and some poxy jobsworth (with restraints, pepperspray and a gun) wanted to strip me or irradiate…
