Comment on New DNA construct can set off a “mutagenic chain reaction”parent

Comments

The movie 'In Time' (2011) has a nice view on this subject. Only the rich will be able to live forever but some of them discover they get tired of living.

I'm not sure living forever in this world will be that much fun.

Extreme sports will be more fun though! (Living forever doesn't mean not dying, just raising the bar)

The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect [1] is a fascinating take on immortality (for everyone in this case) as a curse.

Content warning: TMoPI is hideously graphic at times, and the ending contains an explicit description of father/daughter incest.

Watch the series "Dollhouse" for a similar topic. Bonus: It's by Joss Whedon, so you should watch it anyway! ;-)
