Is cladistics an art or a science, or is there no rhyme or reason to it?

Why haven't you cured old age, and made us immortal?

I'm eager to work on the problem Smile (seriously) 

I never quite understood why vampires always depict being a vampire as something undesirable. I mean, except for the needing to drink human blood part, everything else is awesome (immortality, eternal youth, super strength, etc.).

Not being able to go out in sunlight would be a serious problem. I don't want that to be part of your 'cure' for aging. Make sure you get it right!

Newer vampire movies have (in some cases) gotten rid of that unenviable feature Smile

The newer vampire stories are totally lame.  Who wants to hear vampires talk about their feelings?  You might as well watch a romantic movie, which has the advantage of eliminating the stupid bit about vampires existing.

So, if the only option is to be like some lame vampire in one of these newer stories or die, I'll take death.  The whole point is to improve people's lives, not make them worse.

True Blood (HBO), The Originals??? Great shows (some of the best vampire shows I've ever seen, and I've been a vamp fan for most of my life).

You can also see them on Hulu and Amazon Prime.
