Is reverse aging possible in humans?

So, everyone worries about death right? Well, as I covered before, I'm not much of a worrier, but this breakthrough seems like a bit of a milestone along the path towards immortality.

Crazy stuff, but I doubt it will make us immortal :p.

  2. The answer is in stem cells, you need to regenerate tissue faster than it dies.

  4. I agree with Kuda, Stem cells. Things far beyond the reaches of our imagination is within stem cells.

  6. Yes stem cells are incredibly interesting, i do medical genetics at uni so I have learnt a lot about them, incredibly fascinating and they could hold the key to curing thousands of diseaases, thanks for the comments guys :)

  7. I don't know about reverse aging. Stopping aging in the first place, yes, replacing old tissues with new ones, yes, but not turning old tissues into new tissues.

  8. Reminds me of the benjamin button movie.
    Don't think this would work though, life and death work like that since millions of years, and without death life would be meaningless anyway.
