Humans to immortals? Scientists have successfully performed gene manipulation to regenerate old organs
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Man has long been searching for the fountain of youth in an effort to keep physical vigor. While this may be viewed as a manifestation of vanity, the ability to extend youth has crucial implications even in this modern age.
In this era of modern medicine, finding what could be the key to lasting youth may mean finding the cure for many of the illnesses that have afflicted and caused the demise of man. Although the fountain of youth will remain a mere mythical representation of man's quest for immortality, scientists are actually making progress in the field of regenerative medicine that may lead to extended youth.
In a new scientific breakthrough, scientists in the United Kingdom were able to regenerate old animal organs, a milestone that could pave way to organ restorations that would have a number of potential uses to man.

that is true but old mice who are likely to be killed or die, if it was young mice i would have a different opinion but old mice? at least they would die painlessly.

Who would want immortality? you'd become depressed so quickly
plus. People need to die in order for earth to stay "stable" in population.

I hope this isn't possible. The world needs death. The world is already way to populated. (In most places)

I would hate being immortal. I look forward to afterlife one day.

Death scares the sh*t out of me because I'm not one to believe in an afterlife, but I'm not so sure the eventual goal of immortality would be as fruitful as people think. At some point or another, it's everyone's time. It would set off the natural order of the world. Even if it were possible, I'm not sure I'd want to live "forever".
But still, damn science, you crazy. Amazing what we're capable of and discovering now a days.

Even if they can do this they won't release it, just like the cure for cancer.
