I totally agree, but there's only so much description I could pack into the already too long title ;)

Just go to Carrousel

Nowadays, yes. But when those potions came out first in 1517, I found them tasting horribly.

If I could subsequently stop taking it, and have my existence progress naturally from then hence; yes.

Would that trearment also re-shape me? I don't want to be a hairless fat guy forever...

Ah, so you would like to be a hairrry fat guy?.

Does the treatment come with a lifetime guarantee?

I imagine not. It's a treatment rather than a cure, so you'd have to keep taking it to get the benefits.

Only if there is also a way to reverse the anti-aging process that would allow to go painlessly after one has done everything, saw everything.

I'd certainly take such a treatment, for the simple reason that reversing the decision at a later time is very easy indeed. Althought not completely painless, jumping (or otherwise placing yourself) in front of a heavy, fast moving object is a tried and tested method :-)

Time flies when you don't know what you're doing

    ... assuming that is that the negative side-effects don't leave you in a condition in which you're unable to throw yourself in front of the bus -- before you reach the decision to do so.

Be darn nice if it could fix a few things that have gone by the way as a side effect. But generally, I kind of like living, so would probably take the plunge. I think though that it would have to be a repeat treatment type thing so I could stop it if things got boring.....

FWIW, this has the longest question at 120 characters, a record previously held by If I was forced to program in another language, the Perl language feature I would miss most would be: way back on on Oct 17, 2006 with its mere 101 characters. Though, in Dec of 2008, You find that you are the only one left in your department on the week between the Holidays. Do you: came close at 100 characters.

The shortest polls are I prefer, Votebots, and Life is: all ranking it at 8 characters, closely followed by On sushi:, My age is, I work..., and I blog... all at 9 characters.

The (averaged) average length is 37 characters, the length of 11 polls. The median is 32, the length of 13 polls. Grouping polls by length shows the largest group at 16 polls, with a length of 24.

Do you have statistics about the number of possible answers?

Please explain what you mean, especially by the word possible.

Just came across this:

which succinctly expresses the theological case for a “No” vote.

Cute, really, but...according to that, why don't the practitioners kill themselves? Okay, can't take action...so don't eat or use medicine, that's passive.

As the practitioners do try to keep their life going, what's the difference between that and and anti-ageing pill?

Here is the Apostle Paul on the Christian’s prospect of bodily death:

So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. For we live by believing and not by seeing. Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. — 2 Corinthians 5:6–9 (NLT)

In the New Testament, the Christian is often likened to a soldier fighting a battle. No soldier wants to be dishonourably discharged for dereliction of duty. But all soldiers long for the time when their tour of duty is over and they can return honourably to their homes and loved ones.

Would there be an age requirement on this? Or would kids stay kids and be "too young" forever?

Certain political types are likely to block this. They won't like to lose the votes ;)

For those who (can) read Dutch, this (fun) article is on-topic.

"De Speld" is fiction. Do not belief their articles.

What, and have to work another 5000 years until retirement? Someone please pass me that 5 liter bottle of sleeping pills. And a bucket of water...

If a safe, affordable anti-ageing treatment that extended life indefinitely were to become available, would you take it? by Arunbear
