Do you really care more about mice getting hurt than you do research that could help millions? If one person could be benefited by hurting every mouse in the world I say do it. One person's life is worth more than the life of every mouse.
Eric Wilson - Xertion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This is what completely sucks about this site. All the people who do nothing but post "dupe" in every damn thread. Morons. If it's a damn dupe use the "problem?" drop down and move on. If all you have to say is "This is a dupe" or "This is old" then don't post. Nobody wants to see it.
Living forever would totally suck ass btw. - kevin.gc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1""""poor mice though, the scientists purposely amputated and injured them just for an experiment."""""

And if killing every mouse on Earth led to an ecological collapse that wiped out humanity...? - fireant202, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats not eternal life, its simply regeneration, like a salamander as it says. youd just regrow anything you lost. poor mice though, the scientists purposely amputated and injured them just for an experiment.
- toekneebullard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0In the words of the "immortal" Queen: "Who want's to live forever?"
- BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0BUT if we could have eternal life, imagine what we would look like at age 1000.
- joebus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol "dont move or ill shoot"
"fine then shoot"
*shoots* *arm falls off*
"muhahhahahaha"
*arm grows back* - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0who cares about mice?
- Grypht, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Eternal life? That's going a bit far, don't you think? Just because we gain the ability to regenerate limbs and organs doesn't mean we'll live forever. If that was the case, amphibians would live forever, but they don't. Check the facts next time so your posts aren't misleading.
- i3x171um, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That title isn't even close to what the article is about.
- compu73rg33k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is good for alcoholics.
- DigitalGeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1How many more times can we post the word "dupe" in the comments...
- spartan777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0to cfitz: i don't.
- SuperCujo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How would this affect people with cancer. Wouldn't the tumours just regenerate themselves after chemo or radiotherapy?
- camtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^planets*
- MattZed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0may be misleading, but still is interesting... regeneration pwns
- mathewdev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0maybe, I don't really wanna know, how your garden grows. Cause I just wanna fly!!!
- camtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0uh oh. We'd better start teraforming plantes if we want this to work.
- cfitz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To tehubersheezy
I do. - mackoid101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"If you play your cards correctly, one life is all you need..."
- synystar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I like the way this going actually. Screw the article. Lets talk more about the possibility of an "ecological collapse" which might occur as a direct result of human experimentation on mice.
Someone write that story. I'll Digg it. - shawgo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0When a cell copies itself to regrow a limb, i would retain the age of the original cell. So the new cells would die at the same time the old ones would have.
- grudknows, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Considering most people waste their existing life span, I'm figuring that if a medical breakthrough that allows for eternal life does happen, it'll just allow for greater mediocrity of the human race. What's more, I'm sure politicians won't change their short term "let's win the votes today and worry about other silly things tomorrow".

BTW, where's the edit comment button again? Am I missing it? No digg for Digg, dammit. Such a cool site too. Being a noob here, can someone explain this oversight to me? Is it to preserve posts so that someone being an idiot can't take back thier comments? If that's the case, then the almost immediate "dumbass alerts" with quotes from the original post should suffice, no? - siouxmoux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0someone should forward this story to huey lewis
- positron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0wouldn't want to live forever, but i wouldn't mind being able to choose my time.
- MannaPC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This isn't eternal life... just repairs our wounds.
*blee*holes poking out eyes for no reason... that is just wrong. May they burn in hell for this. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Don't the people who keep adding "dupe" to the comments realize they are duplicating the comments that posted "dupe" as well? The secret to mega-life spans will probably involve moving our consciousness to machines or something more durable than flesh and blood.
- kevbryant, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i find it inciteful that you said "for people who want to live forever". i myself am nt sure Id wnt that. digg for that in itself.
- cessax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0those mice's ear holes looked very photoshopped =/ then again, its wired news, so i'd say they are legit. no form of life is meant to live forever...scientists need not try to play god.
- markperia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0" lol "dont move or ill shoot"
"fine then shoot"

that'll still f'ing hurt! - browwiw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remeber this from when it was first posted and I'll make the same comment:
A serum that can regenerate all parts of the organism, but not the brain, and can be spread from organism to organism by simply introducing it to the blood stream (like, say, maybe a bite wound). Zombie apocalypse!!!
Please, god, please. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0>This is what completely sucks about this site. All the people who do nothing but post "dupe"
>in every damn thread. Morons. If it's a damn dupe use the "problem?"
thats the problem when you give ***** the power to act like they have some superior insight... you find out they don't.
>Living forever would totally suck ass btw.
Oops... wrong about that one. Living forever would totally be great. What could possibly be wrong with living forever? - geezusfreeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Doesn't this sound sort of like Resident Evil?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't believe no one has said this yet.
WOLVERINE!!! - Aynatix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 mackoid101: "If you play your cards correctly, one life is all you need..."
Lame. - f1gm3nt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sounds creepy, it said that when the SUPER mice's blood was injected into normal mice they became SUPER mice...sounds like a zombie mouse movie. Why is it that most of the people who yell 'DUPE!' always have some kind of link to their site below that. Wouldn't it be nice if digg users could 'digg' users off the site? Get rid of the retards around here. But I digress, intresting article with some intriguing comments.
- Mobadass, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0muhahahaahahah my dream might ome true EVERY GIRL IN DA WORLD WILL BE MMMIIINNNNEEE
- Akia, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Dupe, misleading, old news, and it doesn't regenerate the brain.
- R3dHalo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0its old and its a dupe!! digg is turning into 4chan
