Recently, a study in Seattle shows chemical rapamycin might make pets live longer. Rapamycin is currently using with other medicine in organ-transport patients. This chemical can slow down the speed of cell growth, thus slow down cancer spreading. It also can improve heart functioning which scientists are expecting the most on extending pets’ lives. About 50 studies show that rapamycin can extend pets’ life spans about 9 to 40 percent. Now the researchers are hoping for more pets to sign up. The scientists are also hoping one day this drug can benefit human.
I think this drug will be bring a lot of joy for pet lovers. We will no longer suffer from the grief of losing a pet. It will be very helpful in the future if it can be used on human too. We’ve always wondering or even wanting an immortal life. We can do so much things, if we have more time. However, I don’t think I would want an immortal life. It’s always better to have a deadline, so I don’t procrastinate and get more things done.
