Harvard Scientists Create Mice That Live Forever

"they bred genetically manipulated mice that lacked an enzyme called telomerase that stops telomeres getting shorter. Without the enzyme, the mice aged prematurely and suffered ailments, including a poor sense of smell, smaller brain size, infertility and damaged intestines and spleens. But when DePinho gave the mice injections to reactivate the enzyme, it repaired the damaged tissues and reversed the signs of aging."

Revelation 9:5,6

5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes.

6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

While this is indeed fascinating and exciting, expect that rather immediately there will be hucksters trying to sell you something which claims to boost human telomerase enzymes. And if you think the world is over-populated and violent now,...just wait til we have a few decades of no one dying due to natural causes. War will quickly be advocated as the only way to acquire resources for certain peoples,...and necessary to cull the over-multiplying herd.
