[ WP ] When you reach the age of 25 , you will respawn back to 25 anytime you die . When you reach age 50 , you no longer respawn if you die .

> With the population of the world exceeding 12 billion by year 2030, urban zones have become meccas of crime and poverty. Population growth exceeds the government's ability to maintain even the most basic public services. Inner city schools are unattended, fires remain ablaze, and 911 calls go unanswered. 
 
 > The United Nations calls an emergency meeting for a swift and immediate solution. With the recent enormous leaps in gene therapy: the World Health Organization proposes a final solution. Nations are desperate for each having destruction in their urban environments. Everyone has felt the pain, at least empathetically. 
 
 > An enormous fleet of various military-grade aircraft will sweep the populations of our world. The planes will release a super drug capable of rewriting the DNA within a human being. Those over age 50 will be unaffected. The pathogen is in the form of a virus. The virus remains dormant until the moment of death. Upon death a rapid healing process occurs, returning the patient ’ s age to around 25. 
 
 > The virus makes the whole world sterile, intentionally. 
 
 Everyone talks about where they were when they heard officials of the world make the announcement. I was at a birthday party when everyone ’ s phones started ringing. My mom and girlfriend called me. My mom first telling me to turn on the television. It was already on the news of course, someone had beaten me to it. The reactions of my friend ’ s family made this even more intense for me. I ’ m the type that likes to receive bad news alone. People crying, looks of disbelief, and children ’ s confused faces. 
 
 The president is on the television. She said that it may seem too totalitarian but of course they wouldn ’ t have been able to tell us before it was already done. We can ’ t have children without extremely high credentials and permissions AND we could potentially live forever if we wanted to that is as long as you ’ re below 50. The president being 51, made herself out to be some kind of martyr. A pseudo-jesus in my opinion. 
 
 There ’ s no more republicans and democrats. We've split between those in favor of the natural and those that believe this is a gift from science. 
 
 Some believe the announcement counted on there being riots immediately, in order to demonstrate the power of the drug and to rid us of the old more rapidly. I ’ m one of those believers. 
 
 The media exploited the riot footage so much that everywhere I turned I couldn ’ t avoid seeing the atrocities. Robbing, rape, murder and other crimes of opportunity. What the announcement didn ’ t explain is if you die three times consecutively within a ten minute time frame, the virus doesn ’ t have enough energy to repair you. Technically, your body doesn ’ t have enough resources. The most famous footage today is the silhouette of a man standing over his victim. The video shows him shooting the victim at point blank range. The man patiently waits ten seconds for the healing process to complete and fires again AND AGAIN, until there ’ s no more movement. 
 
 The desperate sterilization of the world didn ’ t improve the economy or encourage people to live more. It perpetuated widespread complacency and crime. The difference between the wealthy and the poor is greater than ever. 
 
 By my count I ’ m 116 years old now. It ’ s year 2112 and we ’ re in the second medieval times. Technology hasn ’ t progressed much. I ’ m just sitting here watching my sitcoms. 
 
 It ’ s hard to be motivated when you have all the time in the world.
