    That's the point. They'd be the ones getting it.

    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.

    I doubt being immortal would be too easy so even if they find out how to work t his shit there'll be plenty challenges.

    But say this shit was ready to go in the next 10 years I smell overpopulation like **** unless they pass some law to kill you when you hit 1,000 or summin lol. But srsly though I'm sure people would still find ways too go dieing.

    And back onto my first point there'll probably be some point where you can't "be immortal" anymore and then this doesn't reverse age more than likely either so wouldn't you be stuck at a certain age and say you were like 80 or some shit you'd have tons of aches and shit so who wants to live with that.

    Lastly, this might all just be the beginning of a zombie apocalypse : O

    Can anyone say "overpopulation?" (edit: the guy above me said it. Well atleast someone did ) But ya agreed. F dat. Personally, I think living forever would suck.

    who the heck wants to be immortal anyway? I'd love to live for about a thousand years...but that's about all...

    seriously, immortal means you'd be on this earth for another 4-5 billion years unless someone is kind enough to stab you. I can barely keep myself entertained for my miniscule lifespan of 100 years

    You won't be immortal, but it will extend your life to some point of being more older than 100 years.
    However, being immortal is simply stupid.

    I'll take immortality (eternal youth to be exact). I'll make sure to visit your grave spots from time to time every 1000 years or so... if there isn't a building built over it.

    If this were to happen, expect to see suicide rates rocket. Would you really want to live forever(Or a period more than 100 years?). Just imagine the health complications that would arise.
