The U.S. Military Is Testing a Pill That Could Delay Aging

“These efforts are not about creating physical traits that don’t already exist naturally. This is about enhancing the mission readiness of our forces by improving performance characteristics that typically decline with age. Essentially, we are working with leading industry partners and clinical research institutions to develop a nutraceutical, in the form of a pill that is suitable for a variety of uses by both civilians and military members, whose resulting benefits may include improved human performance—like increased endurance and faster recovery from injury.”

We don't need those things anyways, do we? You're looking at the future oldest living pornographer on the planet. And I'll tell y'all what: we're gonna have some unimaginable niches in 2121 and I want to be there to bank off them, understand? I need to e-mail MetroBiotech about this. This sounds like it can't go tits up.
