I'd be very wary about anything like this. For those who haven't watched the Stargate SG1 series, the show creators and writers are read in on our actual reality. So much so that the Airforce effectively sponsored the show with ideas, concepts, and cameo appearances.
They have a lot declass in that show, one episode in which a seemly benevolent ET comes to Earth to share tech with us. One of those pieces of tech is a miracle drug that cures all diseases and extend life span. Turns out that it does do all those things with one little side effect, sterility. Within two years birthrates plummet 91% and humans are well on their way to extinction.
Needless to say, be very wary of "miracle" drugs that extend life span.
Oh man, I miss that show. I keep referincing this very episode to my friends as a reminder of how a modern trojan horse would work. Sometime I consider that series to be a documentary. There has to be a lot of disclossure there. Unfortunatley they left us hanging with the SGU just when it started to pick up the pace. The creativity was truly beyond this earth.
