Immortality not good - Pope

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.

We use them in the telecommunications industry and they also survive storms and storm wind much better than propellars. Read the article...
