If we ever do develop a drug for immortality, in what form might it be administered?

If we invented a drug that stopped aging would it most likely be in pill form, or some sort of treatment we’d have to give in vitro? Need to have some idea for a sci fi story. thanks

Suppository, defintely.

We will use micro-transporter technology to deliver it directly to the target organelles, cells and organs. Removal of denatured protein plaques, crosslinked carbohydrate oxidation products and the like will be accomplished via the same technique, and will serve not just to halt, but to reverse the aging process.

Anally, from the end of the dick of the guy who invented it.

Because he can.

I think it would be administered by an advanced form of hypnosis; altering the brainwave patterns, this causing chemical changes in the brain which set up a cascade of chemical reactions, leading to the synthesis of novel proteins, which act in a virus-like manner, permeating the entire body and rewriting the genome and much of the cellular machinery.

The actual hypnotic trigger will be something quite small, but incongruous; maybe a precisely worded message board thread in the wrong forum, something like that.

i say enima, but would it be worth it? :confused:

I say direct injection into the soul is the only logical place.

It would be in the form of magnets. Check this site out!

It would be an enigmatic riddle told to seekers of eternal life. The answer would be so profound that when it is deciphered, the brain’s very chemistry is changed, and you would have conscious control of every cell of your body. It would then be a simple matter to order your body to stop aging.

That, or the youth drug is administered through an injection into the sexual organs, inside the penis’ hole for men and into the clitoris for women. You can’t get something for nothing, after all.

Thanks Squink, Hopefully it won’t have to be delivered anally as the others so hope. Are you familiar at all with telemerase and how it works, etc.?

I say a “penile catheter” that must constantly be in place to work. Sure you’d live forever…but why?

Personally though, I hope that the drug is administered as some form of cheese. Stilton would be nice.

It has to be downloaded from cyberspace. Unfortunately, there’s so much data that it can’t be loaded into the body via the small finger-tip probe on your mouse. It requires the larger auxilliary probe that’s built into your chair. You know, that one that goes into…

No, wait. It was developed by aliens, and given to humankind as a gift. Unfortunately, because the aliens developed the technology while doing their initial surveys of earth, the only probe that they’re familiar with is the one that they used on Cartman. You know, the one that went into…

Face it. There’s just no other way.

By bullet through the temple, maybe?

In a drop on the end of your elbow that has to be licked off…
