[ WP ] Humanity has invented a serum that allows immortality ... but it has to be injected at birth in order to work , so all currently alive humans will be the last humans to die .

Humanity as we know it is over. Since the beginning we were born, we lived, and then we died. This cycle has been the cornerstone of our civilization since the very dawn of humanity. That all changed with the invention of the God Serum, as it came to be known. It rewrote our genetic code so that our cells would never die. Not only that, but it gave our cells the ability to regenerate. So we would never physically age past twenty or thirty. The world rejoiced at this discovery, and eagerly awaited its distribution. There was one catch, a catch the science community was not ready to share with the world. The God Serum could only work on infants. If it was injected more than one week after birth, it would cause the body to burn up, and die. The serum itself had other notable abilities. Such as making it so the body did not require food or water, or even not breathing for hours on end. This was the next step in human evolution. The world had cured every disease known to man, with one discovery. World hunger would be no more, no more rampant viruses. The Utopian age it would be come to be known as in the years that followed the first round of injections. 
 
 In the beginning it was like something that the earth had never seen, because it was. With no fear of disease of hunger, the next generation of humanity took the mental from the previous. The last mortal to die was a woman named Margret Fletcher, she died at the age of 92. She had become somewhat of a celebrity in her day. As the immortals were fascinated by her. She had outlived all other mortals by ten years. So she was a frequent guest on talk shows and the subject of many news articles. In her last moments she said she feared for the future of humanity. She thought that we had become something we were never supposed to become. Many people ignored her warning, most wrote her off as an old crazy lady. 
 
 The Utopian age lasted from 2028 until 2179. Space was running out. With no fear of running out of resources the population boomed. Space became something that was very hard to come by. Cities the size of countries were erected. The sight of trees was something that became a rarer, and rarer sight. Life was miserable. People living in cramped tight rooms. Bodies pushing up against each other. Personal space had become a thing of the past. 
 
 War had broken out. It was not country against country, or people against country. It was humanity against humanity. Even with immortality, a bullet in the heart will stop the heart long enough, so that the cells do n't have time to regenerate. There were soon piles of bodies stacked higher than buildings. The miserable war is what this time was called, and everyone agreed it had to end. There was only one way to end this war, humanity had to end. So the earths governments decided to bring an end to human life on earth. Some corporations got wind of this decision, and sent earth colonies to the moon, Mars, and some of Jupiter's moons. Along with a complete record of all of earth's history. Only a select few people were sent on these missions. Not knowing if they were going to survive or not. No one is quite sure what happened on earth in it's last hours. From space, as the shuttles left earth, and the people looked back at what had once been their home, they saw a bright light. It looked as if every country had released its nuclear payload. The clouds turned black, the grounded appeared to be glowing red. And chunks of the planet shot into space. One of them smashing into a shuttle, killing everyone on board. 
 
 Will humanity survive its darkest time. It is unclear, one thing is for sure, we were never meant to live forever.
