Imagine you have a case of terminal cancer, and your only hope for
survival is an experimental new therapy which will rewrite your genetic
code at the molecular level. On the upside, you will live in perfect
health for at least another sixty years. On the downside, you will have
the appearance of a beautiful teenaged girl for the rest of your life.
Would you be willing to undergo this radical and potentially
dangerous new treatment? Are you prepared to sacrifice your masculinity
for an irreversible cure? Could you adjust to your lush, sensuous new
body if they threw in a few million dollars compensation?
Wow, what a stupid question.
Ceasing to age at all would certainly be odd, unless it becomes more normalized, but given the alternative...
