That's the thing though... the research looks promising enough that you'll slowly age. In other words, imagine that your body in your twenties changes over a 50 year period instead of a 10 year period. You still feel 30, but you are over 70. You are aging slow enough that you can still work for another 50 or 100 years after typical retirement age. You could even change careers. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Play sports, then switch careers and become a doctor, then a musician, and so on. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br> <p></p><i></i>
