A miraculous 'elixir of youth' which could extend the human life span by more than a decade is being developed by scientists.
The anti-ageing pill was created from a chemical found in the soil of Easter Island - one of the most remote and mysterious places on the planet.
In tests on animals, the chemical increased life expectancy by a staggering 38 per cent.
I am booking in advance to be a test dummy, at 63 I look 52 and if I took this new drug when its developed I hope to look about 32, lol. But in reality this drug could cause a big problem with ex-wrinklies filling up the disco's and raves.
Yep even throw away the walking sticks and zimmer frames. At last I would be able to keep up with my 27 year old partner, climb mountains again and run a 4 minute mile and 100 meters in 10 seconds it takes me 12 to 13 seconds at the moment when chased by a very fierce dog.
Oh yes and now live to 120 years old and bore everyone with my citizen journalism for many more decades. Perhaps a holiday on the moon or mars and I will live to see gravity drives and floating platforms. But of course the sadness of never seeing a peaceful world or the complete eradication of poverty will mar mostly every thing else.

Perhaps we should worry at the fact that Easter Island original inhabitant left the Island and left some scary stone faces to frighten people away. Guess they new about the fountain of youth in the soil and its side effects, lol.
So lets look at the actual side effects

Okay nothing is perfect and I expect the original inhabitance left the Island or died because rapamycin got into their water supply. The stone statues where erected as a warning that Island was taboo.
