This has nothing to do with gays, but #9 made me think of hygiene: Don’t you hate it when you’re at the gym and the person near you in the locker room smells like something crawled up their butt and died?

Living an active life past 100 years old, extending the average lifespan to 120 years old.
There’s something else about aging that most people aren’t talking about though. Not only does are skin sag, but our facial structure changes too. The face, ears, and nose become longer. That’s why older people tend to look more masculine even if they looked very feminine before. http://www.sciencealert.com/a-common-diabetes-drug-will-be-trialled-as-an-anti-ageing-elixir-from-next-year
Research suggests it could help people live to 120.

Imagine that you are a brilliant geneticist and you genetically engineer intelligent mice that can do tricks like dogs for rewards. You build an enormous and elaborate zoo with cameras everywhere so you can watch what every mouse is doing. You add things to keep them satisfied and add a few dangers to keep them on their toes (pun intended). They learn to create houses and simple ways of trucking around grain and materials.
Then you tell them to worship you, but they refuse or just ignore you. How low does your self esteem have to be, or how sick do you have to be in your head, that you would torture them for disobeying? http://madguild.com/illustrations/Scientist-1-Color.png

“Those more receptive to bullsh*t are less reflective, lower in cognitive ability (i.e., verbal and fluid intelligence, numeracy), are more prone to ontological confusions and conspiratorial ideation, are more likely to hold religious and paranormal beliefs, and are more likely to endorse complementary and alternative medicine.” http://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-found-a-link-between-low-intelligence-and-believing-philosophical-quotes
And conspiracy theories.

TLDR version: They stated that the risks and rewards are great, but the ethical issues are too big for them alone to decide. “The forum should be inclusive among nations and engage a wide range of perspectives and expertise – including from biomedical scientists, social scientists, ethicists, health care providers, patients and their families, people with disabilities, policymakers, regulators, research funders, faith leaders, public interest advocates, industry representatives, and members of the general public.” http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=12032015a

Most people, even most religious people, have never felt intense mystical experiences. If people could just feel that connection the world, the world would be a much better place.
This process would safer than any high you could get from a drug, and I think it could be used to help those with drug addictions to recover.
It would also be great for recreational use, of course – assuming continual usage doesn’t permanently warp your brain.
