Soon we will be ruled by immortal modified rulers, also - they will be modified so they can eat money. Electronic money!

One day there will be so many houses, that people will be bored and will go live in tents. "Why are you living in tents ? Are there not enough homes ?" "Yes there are, but we play this Economy game". Now it's "Crisis" time !Too many houses! Yes, we are insane!

Yup, heaven on Earth for the Repilian overloads and forced euthanasia for the plebs after they are of no-use for the machine. Ain't life here in the flesh grand.

And to my beloved grandson Ray, I hereby bequeath and bestow upon him, ownership of my immortal mouse Ralph, and Ralph's titanium running wheel with spacecraft rated ball bearing hubs. And to my Permaculture devotee cousin Floyd, I hereby bequeath and bestow, all of Ralph's manure.

Signed this Second Day of December, Two Thousand and Ten.

And the reason telomerase is associated with cancer is that it allows tumor cells to survive DNA damage that should be killing it, and the more tumor cells mutate, the deadlier they become beause they quickly become drug resistant.

But, in the body, this might have exactly the opposite effect. Likewise, effects of boosting telomerase could have opposite effects on cancer in mice and people. We are very very very good at finding drugs that cure cancer in mice but bomb in human clinical trials.

In the Future, everything will be free. And everyone will live forever. Nobody was talking about killing anyone.

BTW, euthanasia is typically not forced. For example, the war in Afghanistan is being fought by volunteers. People eat at McDonald's everyday (lovin' it!). They drive unsafe cars at unsafe speeds, and take out mortgages they can never pay off.

You can cut types of death into a pie chart and "Forced euthanasia" could explain the effect of aging generally.

Imagine the conversation between you and your body:

Cells: "Well, you've been running on fumes for many years, so, for your sake, we're just going to give up because it seems like you gave up years ago, around the last time you gave up exercise or started drinking. Now, you're just too far gone. We're gonna shut down your organs so you can get the rest you need."

You: "Okay."

FORCED EUTHANASIA = AGING
