If you had the chance of rejuvenation, would you become a baby again?

I recently heard about a pill or drug that NASA is trying to counter-act or reverse the ageing process of its future astronoughts on jouurnies to mars and this really made me think if they can do that why not go the whole way and re-generate a person all the way to an infant?.

I have medical conditions that should have been dealt with when I was a baby, noteably the twisted leg bones and outwardly pointing feet and I was thinking if this drug is safe and not illigal beyond a certain test group then maybe I could enquire seriously if I could take part in this scheme should my condition ever get worse to the point when I cant walk.

But I was also going to ask if you had the chance to become a real life baby or toddler again would you do this or would you not like to experience your childhood all over again?, and if you did would you mind living virtually forever or would you just instead choose to age gracefully into oblivion?.

Please let me know your thoughts on this matter and I will respond in time, please don't send anything offensive though.

Ps- Nefore I forget may I wish a Very Merry Christmas & a happy New Year to everyone.

Yours sincerely

Well, before I respond, is this really a "new story"? Maybe this would be better shifted by admins somewhere else?

Good question, though. I am an atheist, fwiw, so I don't believe in reincarnation, but would like to be reincarnated. Same body, same birthplace, maybe making different decisions along the way. Would I want to "relive" being a baby? Hard to really say. When I see a baby, I see either extreme moments of tranquility or terror, with not much in the middle. I'm not sure I'd want to ever live with that lack of self-control.

I've moved this to Age Play - Age Regression / Psychology corner

.

I think the word you are looking for is rejuvenate, not regenerate. I have amended the title of the thread so that members might get a better idea what it is actually about.

Sure would, but not a baby. I would rather be a toddler.

I've read about this testing too but I do think it wasn't so much a drug/process that could regress a person back to a certain age, but more like being able to considerably slow down ageing with perhaps a marked overall improvement of your general condition.

For myself I see no reason to 'age gracefully into oblivion'. I think I'd prefer to rage against the dying of the light. And if possible, put it off for as long as possible. Centuries would be fine by me, move over Lazarus Long!

Seriously though, I'd settle for looking, feeling and being able to go through life as 30 or 40 again. 20 might be great too, working my way through younger partners with all the knowledge I've gained over the years.

But who'd want to be a legally under-age person again, at the mercy of all the whims and whams of older people/parents? That part of my life I consider something of wasted time. I wouldn't ever ever want anyone telling me what or what not to do again. Once was enough.

Not a baby but I wouldn't mind going back to early adolescence when I still had to undergo the painful humiliation of pulling everything down and bending over the lap of a receptionist/medical assistant for her to watch me get injections in my vulnerable bare bottom.

Aside from what @agracier said, I mentain my answer. Would like to go to my toddler years but without the bossy parent/adult around.?

For me, I wouldn’t say baby but a young boy between 4 and 9 years old. That was the time of my life where my foreskin was at the perfect snugness. Not too tight nor too loose: perfect for instant overwhelmed stimulation as soon as I rolled the foreskin back. I started to suffer from mild phimosis after that, which took many years to stretch out. As soon As I became sexually active, my foreskin got a good workout that it is now totally stretched out and loose.

The way that I would want to do it is essentially a cross between rejuvenation and time travel. I would remain 'me' but back in my 5 year old body back in 1985. What I would do is to transfer everything contained in my mind at this moment into my brain when I was 5 years old. All of my memories, experiences, knowledge, emotions, etc. Since my brain and body were in perfect condition back then, I would perfectly remember everything that will happen every day for the next 32 years. Including, but not limited to, every set of lottery numbers I've seen, every stock report, etc.

In order to be fair to the universe, if you went back to an earlier age, you could NOT return having the experiences and knowledge you have amassed during your life so far.

You would have to give up what you know and have in order to pursue something you want.

I would not want to do this. I am very happy with my life and wouldn't change anything.

If you started out in a 5 year old body with all your present day memories intact, with memories of experiences and all, then I guarantee you will have an absolutely miserable following 13 years, because you will not have one iota of input in what happens to you, no say in what you wish or prefer or like, no autonomy. You will be belittled, looked and passed over, not taken into account.

In short, you will be treated like a baby with no say in things and then as a teenager, which is an age that all parents come to perhaps not despise, but dread and fear, you will have even more differences of meaning as a teenager with an adult memory.

My advice: start out at 18 or if by happenstance you do end up younger, make sure you make good educational choices and memorize the wildly successful companies before you transit to your new body. Then invest and start having fun ... 😃

To agracier:

I dont think it would be.miserable. i would be able to prrdict everything that will happen. Every winning lotto numbers i have seen. All the stocks to invest in. I would be the most accurate psychic in history. I would never wany for anything.

To rejuvenate is to make young or new again.

Rejuvenate does NOT mean to go back to an earlier time with what you have learned or amassed in your life.

I dont think it would be.miserable. i would be able to prrdict everything that will happen.

It's all hypothetical anyway, but just consider being in a youngster's body, with all those adult urges and desires and experiences as memory, and never being able to act on any of it. And no one will take you seriously because you are now a child in a little body that even teenagers can push around and get the better of. At best you'd be called 'cute and precocious' for saying all those adult things. At worst they'd send you off to a shrink to try and figure out what got into you.

Anyway, have fun with the idea ... 😃

This is a topic I could probably go on about for pages but to try and keep it short I will say yes I would love to live over again but what I would really want would be to reverse and than halt ageing (in my case reverse age by 10-12 years and than physically remain that age. For me choosing to "Age gracefully into oblivion", is a horrible thing, I can't understand why anyone would choose this.

Although it may be the current fate of damn near all mankind unless/until Anti aging science advances tremendously. Just like dieing has always been no choice throughout history for me if it was available living would be no choice at all, and by that I mean there would be no question that life is what I would choose.

For me choosing to "Age gracefully into oblivion", is a horrible thing, I can't understand why anyone would choose this.

Given a choice of that or not ageing at all, it is indeed a horrible thing to contemplate.

But I think that what it's really meant to convey is that people would rather pass on after having experienced as few discomforts in old age as possible. Many people, unfortunately, develop all kinds of afflictions, deformities and debilitating conditions as they get older, not to mention diseases and illnesses that can be long drawn-out and necessitate intensive personal care and medication.

Better just a slow decline with as few discomforts as possible. That is what is being conveyed. It's called making the best of a bad situation.

If I could go back in time I would like to go back to when I was 19/20 years old and have a dominant woman turn me into her sissy baby. It would involve spankings forced nappy wearing and being taken out dressed as a sissy baby

Not a baby but a toddler…i miss those days believe it or not I have recollection of memories and event that happended when I was around 2 or 3 years old. Some good some bad. Would love to relive the good ones.

Go back and start over? No. No way. De-age my body? Absolutely

I'd go for that @Nurse_Phillips When they did the 6x CABG on me in 1996 they took a vein from my leg which seems to be the root of all the problems I've had in the last 2 years with cellulitis in that leg due to fluid build up. They took an artery from my left arm too which has caused no problems yet so if they needed more they could have taken one from my right arm instead of the leg. I always ran up stairs two at a time and continued to do so after regaining my strength in cardiac rehab which was on the fourth floor of the hospital where I regained running up three flights of stairs to get there. I gave up the running upstairs about 15 years ago but still did the 2 stairs thing for another 12 years. Until the cellulitis hit me I had nothing to complain about and I felt fine. The arterial blockages were hereditary and I had a great heart surgeon 27 years ago as he left one that was 45% blocked and recent tests show it's still 45% with the six they did do all working fine. Now if I could only regress back before the cellulitis I'd be great.
