  You can’t achieve ‘full anti-aging’.
  You get old because as your cells reproduce, it becomes like a copy of a copy of a copy… The you that you are right now is the result of making 100 copies of your original cells…
  Life is meant to die… Even if it were possible to do ‘full anti-aging’ I would fight against it because people will feel they have the “Right” to live forever and yet keep breeding and breeding…
  We have a population problem as it is… This planet would degrade quickly if it were possible to even double our life span.
  We have already reached a point in our longevity where we have passed what nature intended us to do.
  Humans were not designed to live to 110 years old… No matter how good your lifestyle or nutrition or exercise, the body degrades because that is what it is designed to do.
  Be born, breed, die… Lather, Rinse, Repeat…
  We are seeing such high rates of illness and mental decline because humans are not designed to live forever…
  We are seeing the consequences of such things as kidney donation NOW because people are living past 70 and though you may be able to have a good life BEFORE 70 with 1 kidney… You will get sick and die a much worse death because you only have one…
  Alzheimer’s… Dementia… Joint replacements… Arthritis… The rates of these diseases are sky rocketing because we are meant to go running after buffalo and die at 50 when we can’t keep up with the pack anymore.

  You cannot stop aging, you can only slow the effects of aging. Physics proves this, read some of Steven Hawking’s theories.
  I can imagine that if people were able to artificially lengthen their lifespans, people would be less likely to believe in any given religion. I think that this is mostly due to the fact that people spend more time trying do disprove that a god may exist and they never really research any of the prospective religions to see if any of them are plausible. Many religions have historical backing and some sound scientific theories backing them as well. However, for those of you that want a more simplistic approach to gauging whether to believe or not to, read the following:
  Pascal’s Wager (or Pascal’s Gambit) is a suggestion posed by the French philosopher Blaise Pascal that even though the existence of God cannot be determined through reason, a person should “wager” as though God exists, because so living has everything to gain, and nothing to lose. It was set out in note 233 of his Pensées, a posthumously published collection of notes made by Pascal in his last years as he worked on a treatise on Christian apologetics.
  Historically, Pascal’s Wager was groundbreaking as it had charted new territory in probability theory, was one of the first attempts to make use of the concept of infinity, marked the first formal use of decision theory, and anticipated the future philosophies of pragmatism and voluntarism.[1]

  Belief in “traditional religion” may go down, but I think right now stuff like “New Ageism” and “Spirituality” are going up. A lot of people believe there’s something spiritual out there but they just don’t want to identify with a religion (because lots of religions just DONT GET IT).
  As for life span… I read some article about a jellyfish scientists found can literally live forever. It grows old then reverts back to its childlike form. Google it if you want. So, some life can already live forever or theoretically forever.
  I think all of what you mentioned will affect lifespan… but a lot of people might not *want* to live forever anyways (me, b/c of my spiritual beliefs).

  i don’t know, but if you find out will you let me know??
  also let people have there faith, if it dosent effect you, and comforts them, whats the harm, as a scientist you should know, the human brain needs a mechanism for coping!! if its organized religion so be it! it can be extreme in some cases, but in the minority such as a scientist with a lack of human emotion.. you’re not really that intelligent if you need to mock others beliefs!
  im not a believer myself but most religion is based on good, something that is rare in society today,

  anti-aging? they can’t even regrow hair!
  yeah, if they prolong physical life, there might be those who get cocky but, as you said, it’s still a life “span”. Have to give up the body sooner or later. Then there are always car wrecks, the stray bullet from the bad neighborhood. Floods, lighting, tornadoes. What do the insurance companies call these…? oh yeah, Acts of God.
  God said after the flood, man’s days will not number past 125 years..I’m not sure He will take too muck lip service from science.

  This will make your eyes blink a few times. Read all of it. It’s pretty damning. http://www.ash-info.com/ASH%20RESEARCH%2…
  Ash is for Advanced Scientific Health, it is the top scientific review publication. It’s all good.

  Man, I think Aubrey De Gray is going to be the next Jesus. SENS is the answer Ponce De Leon’s age old quest, for sure. It’s the process in which tissues affected by aging are replaced faster than they can accumulate, basically.

  The full proof way to achieve anti-aging is to die. When you die, you age no more.
  Yer really stretchin’ it on that religious question category, heh heh.

  Technically you can never achieve anti-aging, I mean, as long as time is present, you are constantly aging.

  Scientist can not reverse the curse of sin that brings physical death via the aging process to mankind. God bless.

  You don’t age when you’re dead…
