Hey, I’ve been doing glowing jellyfish proteins tattoos on flies, do you want red or green fluorescence?

what are you saying? Everybody knows that biblic years were not 365 days.
Even if you haven’t heard of this, at least you might be aware that Gregorian calendars is pretty modern. Going back in the years… December, for ancient Romans was the last month of the year but, as the name suggests (at least to me that I’m Italian), it was the 10th month (dieci), November was the 9th (nove), October the 8th (otto), September the 7th (sette)…. where did you find that people were living 1000 years?
Of course, the year for Jews was not 12 months and 365 days.
Furthermore.
At beginning of XX century, the pollution was much less, and the food 100% natural, but the average life in Europe was 42. Now the average life is near to 80.
If you see the average life of all famous people living in the middle age, there is evidence that little was shorter.
Dante Alighieri, who was death at around 70, wrote around the year 1260: nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita ….. (approximated translation: in the middle of the walk of our life ….) and it was sentenced as 30 or 35 years.

If I lived to 178 years old, I’d be crabby too.

What fires my imagination is the presence of a clonal colony of neptune grass estimated to be 100,000 years old.

And I still want a glowing jellyfish protein tattoo.

But is it possible to combine the DNA of jellys with human DNA to produce longer life at all?

At this stage as far as 99% of the people know NO it is not. Personal opininon as we would not be told and if it did leak out it would have been censored and made out to be a small medical story wit the addition that it is still in its early stages and needs another 8 to 12 years of research. Just like soeme Cancer or other medical break throughs.

If we have a look at some magazines like “TIME” and Medical Science websites we find that genetic al engineering has progressed nicely. However, for the better or worse is the moral, ethical and troubling question. Some years ago I was in a Doctors surgery waiting for a family member to get some scans. I started to read the magazines and noticed a TIME magazine. As I have been interested in Science and new developments I had to read a particular article. The scientists were cloning and combining a Goat with a Spider? Why? To produce stronger spider web from the goats milk or breasts. Spider web is flexible and stronger that steel and could be used in building and military applications. Now we are talking. The Military Industrial Complex wanted kevlar like light weight material that is bullet proof, can have electrical sensors woven in and is extremely strong they were also working on an Invisibility suit that worked on light reflection or bending principles. Alien technology people. However, there was very little mentioned about human health improvements in this article,Lets examine some of the recent news ALEX Jones website and he had a You Tube combining animal with human foetus DNA.
GMO Crops and other SCIENTIFIC advancements and research. Doctors studying humans that have genetic abilities to out live normal people to find the holy grail of immortality. Yes it has all been done and is still being done. Since Adolph Hitler and Germany believed that blonde hair and blue eyed people were superior to others. Interesting how much research actually went into this and how many people were made to suffer by the medical and scientific extreme lunatics that had the Do WHAT EVER IT TAKES mentality.
Children were locked up and used for experiments as were prosoners, girls that were seen as Jewish or that had the wrong coloured hair, eyes and ither feathres in child rescue or parentless children in institutions were sterilised and experimented on.
If we do find the genes that can turn of the ageing process or slow it down. Who will it be tried on? Who will it be perfected on? Who will get it?
The simple answer is NOT THE AVREAGE person and not every one. The select few that have financed and pushed the research are more that likely to be in the exclusive group along with the wealthy and important.
