The dynamic discoveries of modern medicine never cease to improve the quality of life. Thousands of biological processes occur every second involving billions of cells. Human biology is so complicated it is a miracle life exists at all.
With the body's ability to protect and defend against microscopic invaders from both within and without -- one day came a world-changing medical discovery. No longer did man need to fear the ticking of one's own biological clock toward eventual death. The secret of the body's encoded plan of aging and termination had been found and defeated.
Was it even in the realm of possibility -- take the new formula and never age another day?
The drug did work. Within a short time, its power was confirmed. Would it give men and women another twenty years of life? Fifty? Maybe even a hundred? The discovery was a blessing to all mankind. People celebrated because life was good. The future was full of promise. The specter of death had been beaten back.
