Yes the research is far away from testing or working on humans, but consider what would happen if everyone lives for 500 years.

1. You would probably be a "teenager" for 300 years!
2. There would be such a thing as a "400 year old virgin"
3. Home mortgages that last 30 years wouldn't seem so bad anymore.
4. You would buy a lot more cars
5. You would upgrade your computer 100+ times.
6. You would have great-great-great-great grandchildren, and stiill be able to see their graduation
7. Supermodels would be "super" for decades
8. You would spend $500,00 on pet food (assuming they lives 6x longer too)
9. You could buy some stock and you would definitely be a millionare eventually as long as the company stayed around.
10. Your life insurance would either go way up, or way down.

Any more ideas? Personally I think <conspiracy> the "government" would never allow this research to be available, as the planet probably could not sustain the massively increased population explosion. </conspiracy>
