Thats some scary shit in my opinion, but still interesting none-the-less.

Thoughts? Discussions?

No, I don't think it is possible. But, who knows... with science already being somewhat uncontrollable, this might be plausible.
I'd better prepare for the Zombie apocalypse :|

I didn't even know that there is a part of the DNA that determines whether you die.
And for all those people who'd like to live even longer, this cancer provides options to keep you alive. Interesting, why not live for more than 100 or 150 years?

Reminds me of Zombieland, the movie. I think it might be possible, why not.

My brother and I once were talking about what future technologies we're most scared of. Such as uncontrollable AI, grey goo, a deadly virus that is spread, stuff like that. We both agreed on the deadly virus, because bio warfare is becoming more and more coming, thus giving the need to make new infections. I'm scared of something maybe resident evil-like happening, as I think that will be the most practical out of all future technologies.

Yeah, I didn't either, haha. It's kind of a scary thought though, right?

Uncontrollable AI is one of the scariest things for human beings... annoying :p

No, it's not scary for me, if I read this I'm getting inquisitive and in some special kind, it's fascinating.
