White: It seems to be the perfect Christmas gift this year. I'm going to miss Christmas. Permanently. I want you to know that I thought they were talking hypothetically, until they found the first survivors. Then they really did it. Some of those survivors were just kids.
Hector: Hey, wait a minute. What's all this about... blood?
Dr. White: They think they can generate a serum.
Hector: A serum?
Dr. White: We were exposed. Not a lot. Just enough. They left the ventilating ducts wide open. The fans going. Very scientific. Very stupid. In 36 hours, you will be able to vacuum up the last of them from the carpet.

Mystery of why humans die around 80 may finally be solved

The mystery of why humans die at around 80, while other mammals live far shorter or longer lives, may finally have been solved by scientists.
Humans and animals die after amassing a similar number of genetic mutations, researchers have found, suggesting the speed of DNA errors is critical in determining the lifespan of a species.
There are huge variations in the lifespan of mammals in the animal kingdom, from South Asian rats, which live for just six months, to bowhead whales, which can survive for 200 years.

Previously. experts have suggested that size is the key to longevity, with smaller animals burning up energy more quickly, requiring a faster cell turnover, which causes a speedier decline.
But a new study from the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge suggests the speed of genetic damage could be the key to survival, with long-living animals successfully slowing down their rate of DNA mutations regardless of their size.
It helps explain how a five-inch long naked mole rat can live for 25 years, about the same as a far larger giraffe, which typically lives for 24.
When scientists checked their mutation rates, they were surprisingly similar. Naked mole rats suffer 93 mutations a year and giraffes 99.
In contrast, mice suffer 796 mutations a year and only live for 3.7 years. The average human lifespan in the study was 83.6 years, but the mutation rate was far lower at around 47.
Genetic changes, known as somatic mutations, occur in all cells and are largely harmless, but some can start a cell on the path to cancer or impair normal functioning.
Dr Alex Cagan, the first author of the study, said: “To find a similar pattern of genetic changes in animals as different from one another as a mouse and a tiger was surprising.
“But the most exciting aspect of the study has to be finding that lifespan is inversely proportional to the somatic mutation rate. This suggests that somatic mutations may play a role in ageing.”
The team analysed genetic errors in the stem cells from the intestines of 16 species of mammal and found that the longer the lifespan of a species, the slower the rate at which mutations occur.
The average number of mutations at the end of lifespan across species was around 3200, suggesting there is a critical mass of errors after which a body is unable to function correctly.
‘Ageing is a complex process’
Although the figure differed about threefold across species the variation was far less than the variation in body size, which varied up to 40,000 fold.
The researchers believe the study opens the door to understanding the ageing process, and the inevitability and timing of death.
Dr Inigo Martincorena, the senior author of the study, said: “Ageing is a complex process, the result of multiple forms of molecular damage in our cells and tissues.
“Somatic mutations have been speculated to contribute to ageing since the 1950s, but studying them has remained difficult.
“With the recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies, we can finally investigate the roles that somatic mutations play in ageing and in multiple diseases.”
The research was published in the journal Nature.

See, 'conspiracy' is a false-hope to me personally.
Star Trek - "Metamorphosis" - television series Season 2 Episode 9 - Aired Nov 10, 1967 on NBC
Episode Summary
When their shuttle is diverted to a planetoid, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy encounter Earth's Warp Drive pioneer, Zefram Cochrane, who appears to have survived there alone for 150 years.
(from internet transcript)
COMPANION: Your bodies have stopped their peculiar degeneration. There will be nothing to harm you. You will continue, and the man will continue. This is necessary.
SPOCK: This is a marvellous opportunity to add to our knowledge. Ask it about its nature, its history.
KIRK: This isn't a classroom. I'm trying to get us out of here.
SPOCK: A chance like this may never come again. It could tell us so much.
KIRK: This isn't the time. Companion, what you offer us is not continuation. It is non-existence. We will cease to exist. Even the man will cease to exist.
COMPANION : Your impulses are illogical. This communication is useless. The man must continue. Therefore, you will continue. It is necessary.

Progress Notes
TITLE: PSYCHIATRY CARE
DATE OF NOTE: NOV 07, 2006 @ 16:10
SIGNIFICANT SYMPTOMS/ISSUES: Unchanged from previous intervals: continues with well organized, fixed delusions regarding previous life as military commando and family relationships with celebrities. The risperidone serum level was not completed by the outside lab secondary to mishandling by the receiving technicians and it was necessary to ask Mr. Burgess to supply another blood sample: this was extremely unfortunate given his intense paranoid conspiracy delusions, and he reacted to the request for an additional sample with frank skepticism and anger.

De-aging Legend
Next, my mind conjures up the need to check for "Skyline".
So, I type in the numbers and let my original software-code present to me a set of associations, which I consider
After searching another notion, which may or may not be included here, I thought over that for a while and then another notion formed in my mind. Perhaps importantly, is the thoughts I remember in my conscious mind last night before I finally went to sleep for the night. A new sense of the profound to try to explain how this is affecting me personally: that is not some different version of me in the distant future communicating to me. That is *me*. In a sense, a different version, but in reality a direct line from here now to there then. A hundred years from now, or a thousand years from now. Sitting here now, seems completely impossible to take seriously.
That's why this location was important for all the years past.
A direct extension of me, communicating to myself in the distant past. Before the de-aging process begins, which is certainly not active in this present time.
All people are free in the United States of America. Until the billionaires discover you have something they want and they cannot pay money to buy.
Then your individual rights become meaningless.
And every other USAmerican wants someone else to risk all to fight for their own rights and that they will never fight to protect for others.
