"Scientists Discover Drug That Could Extend Lifespan by 10 Years
Thursday, July 09, 2009

Scientists say they have discovered a drug called rapamycin that could help people live up to 10 years longer.

It works by inhibiting a protein called TOR that plays a key role in cell growth.

Rapamycin is widely used to stop transplant patients from rejecting their new organs.

Tests on 600-day-old mice — equivalent to 60-year-old humans — have shown it also extends life expectancy by up to 14 percent.

"Rapamycin may extend lifespan by postponing death from cancer, by retarding mechanisms of aging, or both," said Dr. David Harrison, of the Jackson Laboratory in Maine, who carried out the research.

Awesome.

Although a lot of people don't deserve to live 10 years longer. They should just give this to people who pass an iq test or something.

nice, but does it add 10 more functional years or just 10 more years pooping yourself in a home?

Hey, if this pill lets me live until I'm 100 instead of 90, you better believe that I'm going to sleep in for at least one of those years.

Jeez. I often wondered if I would live to be as old as I am now.

Add another 10 years to this life? The way it is now, no thanks.

Rapamycin, 10 extra years to develop a slow form of terminal cancer, instead of simply dieing of a heart attack in your sleep.
