Harsh I know, but how many diseases and ailments do the scientists wish to eradicate? How long a lifespan do they wish to create for homo sapiens? Don't we already agree that in the UK we have a pensions crisis, our populations is already getting older and the birth rate is falling. How far do they intend to drive these longevity policies?

But, like your last commenter above, I believe that in this position we are too close to the situation to make a rational judgement. Those Labour MPs who voted against the gov last night act as a safeguard, really. I, too, have watched someone die from a dementia-related illness.

If I had a relative with Alzheimers then yes, of course I would be in favour. But we need to take a broader and more balanced approach. Not sure that is actually what happens, mind you. Fascinating.

My mother died from Alzheimers and it's such an insidious disease that is painful not only for the sufferer, but also for the family who watches their loved one slowly disappear right in front of them. If anything is possible to cure or prevent diseases like this, then I'm for it - under, as you say, strict criteria. I, too, hope and pray that they will vote this through.

It's a tricky call, but I still believe the positives outweigh the negatives. Our scientists have so much power today which enable us to make nuclear bombs, but this doesn't stop us developing nuclear technology and my son has benefited from nuclear medicine.
