    Default Molecule that "Turns on the Immortality Gene"

    A pioneering study published in the Rejuvenation Research Journal today shows that a natural Telomerase Activator... reduces the percentage of short telomeres in immune cells and restores and remodels the aging human immune system to be more like that of a younger individual.

    When expressed (turned on), the gene (hTERT) located on Chromosome number 5p15.33 activates the enzyme telomerase. Human cells can keep living and dividing indefinitely when telomerase is continually present; i.e. the cells become immortal

    We'll all die eventually.

    Seriously, we don't deserve immortality.

    Nah, not yet anyway. Some people would do good with it but there's just to many people that are money and power hungry these days.

    We don't deserve it. Don't need to say it more than once, but whatever.

    Life without death is utterly pointless and will only lead to bigger problems, and thus immortality is probably the worst thing we could discover.
