From what I've seen, it ain't werf it. If only eating and drinking too much could guarantee a nice quick heart attack at 80 I'd go for it like a shot. I'm planning my exit before it all goes tulip, and I'm not joking either.

Are you sure? Should I tell my mum who's 90 next week?Originally posted by socialworker View PostFrom what I've seen, it ain't werf it.

By the time most of us get to 90 (for those that do), it'll be nothing like getting to 90 is now.Comment

Ya, one of my aunties suffers from it. Some days she's there, others she's simply not. It's sad to watch. That being said, she's not even two thirds of the way to 90.Originally posted by Bacchus View Posta small bag should help with that

I saw something on tv the other day about a early pill that has been developed. Right now it would cost £50k per day, so it'd be a while before it was commercially viable. I can't remember if they'd tried it on humans yet or not.Originally posted by Zero Liability View PostAnd slow down/reverse the effects of ageing on the body. That's what I'm hoping anyway.
The last thing i saw a while back some other guys had stopped all ageing in mice - but the mice just died of cancer as their cells just malfunctioned instead of dying off and being replaced as normal. So oddly ageing seems to be an important part of not ageing

It'll take some time before this stuff is hammered out and commercialised. I've a very long way to 90, or even 60, so I am hoping by then it will be. Focus had an article some years ago where they predicted that the ageing process would be halted and reversed by 2040. I wish I had kept that edition of it.Last edited by Zero Liability; 3 January 2014, 23:44.Comment

With the ageing population I think voluntary euthanasia will be legalised, we will be on one way trips to SwitzerlandOriginally posted by SpontaneousOrder View PostYou reckon there'll be drugs or something to stop us from losing our marbles?This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment
