By casting the protein “into sleep” and slowing the ageing process, scientists also block the body’s entire immune system. So far, a way of stopping the ageing and keeping the immune system working has not been found.
But the researchers say they are hard at work, so who knows? Perhaps one day before too long we might be able to stay young – and healthy at the same time.

So your premise is that, once we burn through Earth's resources, we should move on to another planet to continue the process of consumption and depletion. You are incorrect in saying that every species on Earth has become extinct. Humans and every other creature currently on the Earth have not gone extinct. In fact, the only animals that have become extinct are the ones that aren't around anymore. Your arrogance about Humans and the idea that we should work to ensure that, as a species, we carry on forever is absolutely amazing. We haven't even learned how to co-exist on this planet.

Ahh, you're a Christian. That explains the arrogance. I always find it amusing when Christians try to integrate science with their fable and fairytale-laden reality. Do you not see the paradox in believing in an anthropomorphized God (who must of have been a man himself since he supposedly created all of us in his image) and the realities of modern science? I don't even know how you begin to reconcile that.

I kinda think that life-extension science is a bad idea. The planet is already heavily overpopulated, and women keep having babies. On a macro level, we need old people to die off at a faster rate than new babies are created, or women need to stop having so many babies.

Exactly! All of them have been around since at least the early 1900s, and basically look the same as they did back then. Then of you have people like Dick Cheney who, rather than just accept the inevitability of death, insist on a heart transplant for an added boost. I am an organ donor, but I have an advanced care directive and verbiage in my will that lists exceptions to my organ donor status. I've basically listed people who I don't want receiving my organs under any circumstances. The list includes anyone involved with the Bilderberg Group, anyone with the last name of "Bush", and Justin Beiber.
