  207 S.P.Zeidler, I'm with her. I would take the pill because I have worked through most of my angst from a very bad childhood, but I'm not thrilled about the idea of having hormonal rages again. If those could be treated, then fine, I would take it with no hesitation at all, even although,I am poor ($1200 a year), I figured out I have Aspergers this year (I just turned 55), even although I have a BA, I'm just not very employable. I deliver pizzas, (have for over 20 years), and I still enjoy it. I like doing things for...

  229 - AFK Friday. Cheers Charlie; that seems to work with the other rules, and if the regen therapy reverses ostio-arthritis (or even if it had regrown bone well enough to allow infinire artificial joints), then I would take it, and as indicated earlier cashin pension funds to ISAs with a view to having "drop-dead money" (the level os savings where you can afford to tell management who p!$$ you off once too often to drop dead, and maintain lifestyle whilst looking for new opportunities) ASAP....

  Honestly, the whole "[other disease] won't be reversed by the treatment" thing is a red herring. If you survive another 100 years, they will be able to grow a new arm for you. Probably sooner. Likewise the price: governments will be faced with a choice of (1) barricading themselves against a desperate and deadly underclass with nothing left to lose, or (2) telling the NHS to dispense the pills, and looking like a saint. They will pick #2. So basically it's "don't walk under a bus or get cancer, all else is temporary". What I'd personally do is massively grow...

  Can people take a smaller dose to hold in place above the 18-24 bracket? Women do seem to like older men -- therefore, I postulate, some men will wish to be older to make it easier. Not all people like[d] the 18-24 bracket. Personally, I'd prefer about 28 to 32. Some people will like being older; for instance, a Prime Minister/President may have to look older just to get votes (this may change over time, who knows). Makes me think that people who enjoy power will have the capability to have a lot more of it. I'd buy shares in...

  Women do seem to like older men Some women prefer some older men. But actually in my experience, it's that they want someone who's grown up, who behaves in a mature way, and I don't expect men whose apparent age is returned to this range to suddenly shed all their experience. There may also be a slight holdover from the era when a lot of men couldn't afford to marry until they were into their forties or so, so women frequently ended up with much older men for economic reasons. Again, I don't expect that to be an issue for...
