I know it's old news, but several people have asked for it and I thought it was interesting enough to be reposted, so:

How lame, he wrote his own testimonials. You can tell by the way he highlights words in capital letters. It's a trend that continues throughout the testimonials. :p

Well, he'd have to write his own testimonials, because it doesn't work. And nobody with half a brain would buy his "immortality ring" or whatever.

Anyways, the one good thing I see about this site is that it's pretty much harmless. I once saw a webpage advocating the ingestion of ARSENIC to cure diseases... and it had it all explained with BS and some random scientific terms thrown in. Oh, and the premise of this was that all disease and aging was caused by the presence of trace amounts of heavy water in the water that we drink, and drinking a certain mixture of arsenic and other stuff was supposed to "cancel out" the "energy field" surrounding the deuterium, and thus make you live forever.

Death is a part of life, and it is an important part. If people did not die, they would never really learn to value the time they spend with each other. Think of the over-population problems that would occur as well... not to mention resentment from those in third world countries to whom the treatment would not be made as readily available to. Even if this is plausible, it sounds like a bad idea.

All change seems like a bad idea. I wanna live forever! Gimme my science juice! Woo!!

YOU FAILED
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

While living long has it's perks, being a cripple at the end of it doesn't bode well.

Plus, you'd get an amazingly huge population boom.
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

And we'd exhaust the food supplies, but we could colonise mars, and everyone would live in cramped towns, plus you'd be old for most of your life, hardly fair.
nope.

Pertaining to this medicine, some of you obviously didnt read through. YOU DONT GET OLD AND FRAIL. The medicine's point is to stop weakness and frailness. So do you still not want to live to 40? Fine, be my guest :)

Still not enough!!
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

With (smart) people living longer, I'm sure overpopulation wont be an issue with space colonization and such.

Heh, I wouldn't want to live that long not because of physical aging but because of bordem. Seriously... can you imagine how many jobs or activities you'll have to go through in order to keep yourself content? I bet you can explore the whole world in a 1,000 years time. That would be extremely boring to be able to experience so much in that life span.
The cake is a lie... THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!!

Get really good at something, become rich, relax. Buy a yacht. Travel the world. Go into space. There are tons of things to do with that much time, much more than I could do in a normal life.

All you need to live forever is telomerase. You age because everytime your cells split, a little bit of the DNA is chopped off the end. Your DNA has telomeres on the end, basically junk DNA that is safe to chop off. Eventually though, after many replications, the telomeres are gone and you start chopping off important DNA. Telomerase prevents the loss of telomeres by creating new telomeres (which subsequently get chopped off and you end up at ground zero).

Cancer usually has telomerase, last I checked we don't know why.
