I'm sure no one wants to have any signs of aging past their 20s. If you had the chance to stay young, wouldn't you? However, i do agree with you on the botox ridicule. Maybe because my mom has aged gracefully (she's 47 and gets mistaken for being in her 30s) and the women of my family are known for looking younger, so I find all these "going under the knife" methods absurd and just a call of desperation to be youthful.

Not unless they'd want to also start walking around with seven earrings in their ears, a bluetooth on one ear, a big hole in the earlobe, texting and Facebooking at the same time.

I think the perfect description for a 40- or 50-something trying to look half her age is "Teenile."

Looking young is not the same as being young. Your body is still ageing inside even if you try to disguise it.

There's something creepy about someone who looks 30 dying of old age. Might not be in this synthetic age, but it is to me.

Ain't that the truth! As a man, of course I'd like to look/feel 20 for my entire life. As long as my brain aged (and learned) over time so I'd have the best of both worlds... intelligence, experience, and looks!

I don't think it would be creepy. It would make me re-think my cremation plans and opt for an open casket
