Pope praises Americans Pope calls for 'death leave'

Vatican City - Pope Benedict XVI says an immortality pill might not be such a good thing.

During a homily in a church near St Peter's Square on Sunday, the pontiff was reflecting on the goals of science and wondering whether a pill against death would be a good discovery.

In the view of the pope, the world would be full of old people and there would be no more space for the young. The 80-year-old pontiff says it's better not to hope for biological life that can be made to last forever.
