When the p53 gene malfunctions it causes cancer, therefore if you decoded the malfunctioning p53 gene and found out which proteins it produces that would appear on the cell membrane, then you could genetically engineer a virus to find those proteins and insert a functioning p53 gene, stopping the cancer.

irishhappyposter (05/08/2013) [-] it would replace it, reversing ALL mutation. it would spread slowly throughout the body, and stop cancetr boefore it happens, as well as repairing cells that have damaged telomiers, making them live longer, even mabye stopping the cell from regognising the hormone that causes cell death, causing practicly imortal cells, the ultimate desise that could never be cured, made by our own body, it would renew the cell regulary, making it immortal and non mutatable. death of old age and/or mutations would be wiped out. and yes i am aware of the moral outrage and overpopulation, but we can jump that hurdle when we come to it.

agreed
I've read that the perfect age for a man's wife at marriage is half his age plus 7
So let's say that they got married, waited a year (because they're so financially stable) and then she got pregnant.
(33-7) * 2 = 52
Not even taking into account the nine months of pregnancy, The guy would be 70 by the time his kid was out of high school.
Want to know what else? I don't mind that MTV doesn't play music videos anymore because I really don't enjoy 95% of popular music anyways.

stallwallwriter (05/07/2013) [-] Where did you come up with the bit about relative ages for husbands and wives? Most of the parents of my friends are around the same age as each other. By that kind of math, I shouldn't be looking to date anyone under thirty and I'm not even finished my undergrad.

I commented this when the content was brand new hahah, good to see content (that ive never seen before) make it to the front page
anyways it's an older type of mentality I believe.....you know from the days of men providing and women running the household
Its in the book - The Man's Book: The Essential Guide For The Modern Man by Thomas Fink page. 45
"The most common rule of thumb for the ideal age of your bride at marriage is 1/2 your age + 7."
it goes on to say, "The formula adjusts for women's comparatively advanced emotional strength and matches the fertile period of a woman (14-45) to that of a man (14-76). Proponents suggest it also reduces the risk of later infidelity on the side of men."
