Do we really want to live to be 120 years old ?

Some times I feel American medical researchers are like the man who killed the gold egg laying goose to find all the golden eggs at one time

The general public they all want instant  gratification.
enter the charlatans  who  make  money  fooling  people  with pseudo scientific  mumbo jumbo.

I can give you  umpteen number of  examples

FRUCTO - OLIGOSACCHARIDES (other names for the  same /Beta-D-fructofuranosidase, Bêta-D-Fructofuranosidase, Chicory Inulin Hydrolysate, Complexe d’Oligosaccharide, FOS, Fructo Oligo Saccharides, Fructo-Oligosacáridos, Fructooligosaccharides, Fructo-Oligosaccharides à Courte Chaîne, Inulin Hydrolysate, Oligofructose, Oligosaccharide Complex, Oligosaccharides, Prebiotic, Prébiotique, SC-FOS, Short Chain Fructo-Oligosaccharides.)

. "People are living longer. In 1970, the average life expectancy at birth in the United States was 70.8 years; in 2008, it was 78.0 years; and by 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau projects life expectancy will reach 79.5 years. Views on aging are also changing. Disease and disability were once considered an inevitable part of growing older, but that is no longer true. While aging does put us at greater risk for health issues, many older adults can be healthy and active well into their advancing years."(National Institute on Aging)

In Palo Alto in the heart of Silicon Valley, hedge fund manager Joon Yun is doing a back-of-the-envelope calculation. According to US social security data, he says, the probability of a 25-year-old dying before their 26th birthday is 0.1%. If we could keep that risk constant throughout life instead of it rising due to age-related disease, the average person would – statistically speaking – live 1,000 years.
 Yun finds the prospect tantalizing and even believable. Late last year he launched a $1m prize challenging scientists to “hack the code of life” and push human lifespan past its apparent maximum of about 120 years (the longest known/confirmed lifespan was 122 years).

the following  are his advisers
I remember  an episode of  old star trek where the team visits a planet where people are young forever and live forever
they beg the startrek team to infect them with   some of the   viruses and  bacteria   carried by the  team

How will a Trump presidency look like ?

 with  the   swooning of Hillary from  Pneumonia  and  this  "Thug" who bombed New York with home made bombs, it looks like  Trump may win the presidency.

 How will a Trump presidency look like ?

 If you are white skinned and good looking you will be accepted without questions, even if you are in this country illegally and can not speak English.
If you are a young female model, even better some real estate tycoon will take you as his nth wife. there is a possibility you may become the first lady.

  Even if your father and grand father were US citizens and you were born in this country.
If you are of any other skin color or have funny names which do not belong  in the  bible ,you are out of luck.

 The mentality which made Japanese internment camps possible during WWII will be  resurrected.
there will be a Unit 731 in every state.

" Japanese people at the time looked down upon people of other countries. Even now, as Japan is an isolated island country, there are only a few chances to communicate with foreigners. In addition, eugenic and racist ideologies were prevalent in Japan, as well as in western countries. Consequently, most Japanese then had prejudice against people in other Asian and European countries and discriminated against them. They thought Chinese, Korean, Mongolian, Russian, American, English, etc. were beings that need not be treated humanely, especially in wartime."

Sound familiar ?

US army will bomb the middle east with nukes to kingdom come.

we will go back to using steam engines burning the Virginia coal dug up by  the hardworking red blooded American labor.
There  will be  a  large sign on the  Washington memorial " America is great again"

There will be a wall between USA and  mexico and  all those Americans trying to flee USA and in to Mexico will be shot by the national guard.
