Thread Name: BS: Life expectancy quiz.
Subject: RE: BS: Life expectancy quiz.
WWould you buy life without death
eternally healthy
and bypass the pearly gates?

It will be the most wealthy.
who are the most stealthy.
Picture an immortal Bill Gates.

Could science deliver
would you donate your liver
so Bill can avoid his last breath?

Should it be secret,
would you want to know
the ways we have to cheat death?

It is not what we need
but the rich may succeed
as immortal gods' of greed.

What if dictators
could live forever
and pass on their evil seed?

Can we crack the code
to become immortal
and live up to 800 years?

I bet that we could
but doubt that we should,
live for 200 leap years.

Is life without death
worth the expense?
Does it go against nature's rhythm?

They'll give it a try
they won't be denied
the chance to take it with'em.

Soon gene therapy
is all that they'll need.
It has nothing to do with clones.

They won't live forever
But ties would be severed
and they'd find themselves alone.
