I’d hope for some actual answers from believers here…
How would you react in the event of the success of recent anti-aging drug research?
Would drugs or treatment resulting in, say, a 120-yr old man who lifts weights at the gym three times a week upset you or make you happy?
Would this be a happy accomplishment of the discipline of medicine, or a sinful intrusion into the affairs of God?
Would you respond negatively the way many of you respond to abortion clinics or genetics labs, as embodiments of evil, or would you think of it as just a sort of powered-up version of blood pressure medicine?
Is it sinful in your interpretation of "God’s will" to seek longer life?
.
ANYBODY give me a straight answer? Anyone?
Please? I’m not interested in trading insults with anyone.
For those who are interested, I am strongly in favor of such things but I have given a thumbs up to everyone who gave a straight answer regardless of whether I agree with them or not.

In recent times there have been major advancements in what is known about the causes of aging and how to help stop and prevent aging. I want to learn all I can about this subject and eventually obtain a position where I can truly help advance this field of research. I am unsure of whether genetics, biology, medicine etc etc would be best to major in for college. It seems like there is so much to it that it’s hard to determine what the best path to take really is! Hopefully I can obtain a response from someone more educated than I on this.

I am reading current articles regarding medical research into anti-aging: apparently many cutting-edge doctors have already verified that anti-aging medicine is possible, and believe it is reasonable to assume a "cure" to aging is coming soon, perhaps within ten or fifteen years.
I initially find this prospect frightening rather than comforting. Why is this? What are your thoughts on anti-aging?
