Going to see a doctor doesn't make someone immortal.

But what if the doctor is evil and gives you the immortality cure and locks you up in a basement to be his sex slave until the sun runs out of thermal nuclear energy? Think about it.

Okay. You stay here and I'll explore the beauty of the vast ocean we know as the Universe. I'm sure there are others who would volunteer to hop aboard my generation vessel.

But it certainly messes with the circle of life.
P.S. Why haven't you guys realized this already? They already have the cure for aging and disease, but, for all the reasons listed in this thread, won't release it because... PANDEMONIUM

You are grumpy a lot of times. Maybe you need to eat more fiber.

Jesus makes a lot of people happy.
However, this may just be a simple bowel problem. I think he needs to tell us what his poo type is and we can make recommendations.
