    No thanks. Only the worst people / least deserving to live forever would be able to afford this.

      The same goes for any longevity therapy. The billionaire-backed company that develops it first will spend any further amount to keep it to themselves and control it. Imagine owning the only fountain of youth, what favors could you buy with it? Who could you keep loyal? It won’t be expensive, it will be impossible to get without kissing the ring, and it will be taken away if you step out of line.

      Whoever controls the fountain of youth controls the world. Literally, the entire world.

    Clone your body and put your brain into it? No.

    Make a better body and put your brain into it 👍

      My new body needs fur. And a tail. And a muzzle. And pointy ears. And a massive cock.

            It’s too silly to be slop. Or should I have bought a great big canvas, paints, and got to work for several days making a masterpiece in order to convey this joke about a furry man with a huge cock?

            …only for no one to see it because it took too long.

              I’m not the boss of you, build the Torment Nexus if you feel so inclined. Just give us some warning so we can dig deep enough to become mole people first.

    I’m already surrounded by brainless human clones.

    I wish somebody would put a brain in them, they can already vote…

    Many pearls will be clutched, but it’s not more gruesome then modern medicine already is, really.

    Presumably a brainless human will still take decades to mature, though.

    Billionaires know Hell awaits them, and will do literally anything to delay it instead of repent, atone, and repair.

    You’re not fooling anyone 😈
