I wanna be immortal. It seems the hayflick limit is the most our cells can divide and thus the final factor in age limit. Obviously if we can repair and/or extend our telomeres we can at least live longer and healthier lives. Besides blood transplants from young people and eating placentas I'm thinking carnosine supplements. If you can introduce telomerase into the body that should extend life. I got more if you are interested. By the way what are the laws regarding energy weapons in america?

I'd imagine they'd be illegal, one way or another. They're likely disruptive to communications, so FCC should be butthurt about it.

>blood transplants from young people
... how would this help, at all? it won't make the telomeres in your cells longer, and won't stop your body from creating new blood cells.

What if you took blood when you were young, then used that as some kind of template for later repair or something?

EM weapons are already illegal (to use) for this reason, unless you're waaaaaaay up in the gigahertz range. Photonic weapons are just fine though. Regardless, what are they gonna do about it, shoot you? At least with weapons you can shoot back.

Blood would be no good. You'd want cells capable of division. I don't understand much of the theory, but stem cells of the right kind could potentially be used.

As I look at Count Mecha and other mechanized people, I find that eternal life isn't always happiness. It's because life is limited that people try hard to live and feel for others, and that is what creates kindness. That is what I have realized.

Mechanical bodies have got to be removed from the universe.

I've realized that living forever is no reason to get a mechanical body.

That's why I'm going to that planet in the andromeda galazxy that gives out immortal bodies for free. So that I can destroy it.
