Check out MPrize.org or SENS.org for more info.<br /> <br /> But Christians are fighting it with all they have. Just look at the first head of Bush's bioethics council Leon Kass. He said the people should not live over 120 because that is what Bible says. What I find strangest is that for all time religion has sought to make us immortal, be it physically or “spiritually”.

After some point in the Bible (don't ask me what) God said that people will not live that long any more. After that if you try to add up the ages of people in the Bible based on the events you get 120-130 years.<br /> <br /> I don't have any links on hand. Maybe one of the Atheists here that know the bible better can help.<br /> <br /> In the mean time check out Leon Kass on Wikipedia. He is a nutter if there ever was one. Noah lived a long time too.
