Scientists working with rats have uncovered the chemical compounds that allow rodents to scamper around their posh rat spas for well after their expiration date. If the formula for long life can be found for humans, we might all age past the century mark. Now, think about that.

My first reaction is heck, no, I don���t want to live with dementia and breaking bones until the money runs out. But the article claims this formula allows us not to physically age.��.��. we can keep our brains and

bones! I���m a little more interested.��.��.

But then things get really complicated. Do we really want to live through more wars and strife? At what point would we be too old to be drafted? Do we start second careers or keep doing the same thing for a hundred years? And housing! There isn���t enough now. If we all live for half a century more.��.��.

Mind boggling. Certainly would solve the declining population problem though, but I think I���ll let my granddaughter build a better world. I have no need to live forever. What about you?
