No doubt our government or NICE would ban it as they would have to pay pensions longer.

Pjran Thats true P, but the pill for dogs wouldn't affect their finances, just give us more time with them

I wouldn't want to live longer. It's too difficult even now and only going to get worse as I get older. It would be good for dogs but only if there not going to suffer or be in pain.

KAW18 I think the scientists are saying it can halt or reverse the ageing process so you would not get older and suffer any ageing issues if it works K

KAW18 I totally agree with you. Plus should we be mucking about with science in this way. Medicine has been doing this for years to extend peoples lives but is this always a good thing?

But where would everyone live? There's no point living longer when you have no planet to live on! They really need to get their priorities right.
