poliphiloChap on TV was saying he knows how to reverse the ageing process. He reckons we'll have it cracked by the middle of the century. After that we'll have the option (not everyone will take it) of living for a thousand years.
Are we ready for this?

and as for all the people- well, probably we`ll need to go off and colonize space. meaning earth will be full of 1000 year olds and the space fringes will be full of young uns off sewing their wild oats. sounds ok to me...
