Do you think I want to unleash that on the world? Can’t you imagine a world in which no one got any older? Don’t you realize what would happen? If no one ever died, the population would shoot up overnight. The stock market would start fluctuating wildly when people realized what effect an eternally young population would have on spending and investment. There would be a rapid series of sharp cycles in the economy, followed closely by economic collapse. Mines would close, pipelines would be shut off and power companies would go out of business. Wars would start over dwindling resources. The lack of war materiel would force the Superpowers to go nuclear. The Third World would respond with biological weapons.
