Do you think we'll ever find a way to stop people from aging?

I was thinking about this at the height of the stem cell debate, when people were theorizing that stem cells could just regenerate basically any part of the body. If that were the case, couldn't we just continually "regenerate" different organs? Okay, that sounds pretty absurd, but maybe just in theory. Granted you could still kill said person, but this would protect against "normal" health-related deaths or deaths of old age.

I was also thinking that you couldn't afford this to just everybody, since you don't want overpopulation and the process is pretty expensive. An elite class would be the only ones that could afford or would deserve it -- think the sorts of people that would head to Mars to start over.

Smoot, hit me up -- I think we've got the makings of the next great Hollywood screenplay here. It's like a sci-fi/dystopian film, Dorian Gray meets Children of Men.

haha never thought about it, but it does sound like the making of a good sci-fi movie.

Suck it Fiz!!!!!!!

It really does -- especially when you consider how many recent films play on aging and time (Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Time Traveler's Wife, -- okay, so I can only remember those two right now, but I swear there have been more recently).
