Who wants to live forever?

Immortality is just around the corner? If you believe some scientists studying how our bodies age at the cellular and molecular levels, then it is in the realm of possibility. Personally I wouldn't mind living longer if the aging process could be slowed or slightly reversed.

But what are the social implications? Should we be living longer when the planet is straining to support the current population? There is a nice article over at livescience.com describing the possible impact of anti-aging research on society.
