If one day, scientist found a way to stop aging through gene implementation, do you want to have it? Or do you think it's good for the world if no one ages?

No one aging = world population sky rocketing. Would not be a good thing at all.

A person ages in more ways than just biological aging, which gene manipulation may stop. Regardless, if such a thing exist then it would eradicate all age related illnesses so prevalent in our era. Sure the population would increase, but people aren't immortal and will eventually succumb to war or starvation.

by that you mean: not dying of age? or dying of age but the body not actually turinng older.
if the 2nd then why the heck not. I'd quite preffer to stay fit. you got nothing to lose anyway.
if you mean the first, then no I probably wouldn't want it.

If I could stop my body from growing old then sure but I don't think I want to live for ever.

This. Except if it's the first one, I'd get the no aging gene and keep it a secret :twisted:

Maybe be like a Vampire, live anything you want without getting any older but having like hundred of years and then 'die' by sleeping when you get bored and then wake up when you had enough time 'afk' (end of hibernation lol)

Close, but the person who most likely has the clue to the aging gene would be that 18 year old girl that still looks like a baby. She never got past baby-stage. Forgot the link, but google is your friend if you want to find it.

It probably wouldn't be released to the public or even known about. For all we know it's already been discovered. Something this powerful would create way too much of a debate.

But yes, I would take it. I don't think it would be good for everyone though.

If you wear skinny jeans then you might age slower.
