Okay, just had a huge debate with my dad over this, so basically here it is:
If a scientist managed to find a way of shutting off 'the ageing gene' if they discovered it and they knew how to do it, and the scientist then went to someone of the worlds richest people and sold it to them; would they actually be able to keep it secret? Or would the fact some of the worlds most influential people had 'dissapeared' be simply too much. Would it eventually come out? What do YOU think :) |

Wouldn't the idea be that they wouldn't? |

Ahaa, yeah but I mean like they wouldn't be able to walk around like normal because after 10, 20, 30 + years people would know that they look no different than they did before, so they'd probably fake their own death or something. I'm talking about mega-rich people by the way. |

is this in response to the discovery of the muscle aging gene? |
I hate it when people see me at the supermarket and they are like:
Hey, what are you doing here?
and im just like:
Oh you know, hunting elephants |
