A wonder pill that can slow the ageing process is likely to become available within five years, raising the prospect of people eventually living to 150 and beyond, researchers say.

Professor Peter Smith of New South Wales University in Australia claims "elixir of life" drugs will not only help us live longer, but healthier too.

"The aim is not just to eke out extra existence but to facilitate a longer healthy life. We just don't want to live longer, we want to live longer well," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

life span is fixed for individual souls which could not be extended for a single second. Just to live healthy these pills can help but not to extend.

What is the use!? Nowadays people over 60 are not getting any chance to work in any company and they are "Dependent" in the eyes of society, so imagine a person who is 100 years old searching for job and telling I still have 50 years to go!!
