Oh I certainly hope so. In fact that is the whole point and why I think this should be worth more than the reg fee.
O.k, there are no immortality pills to sell at the moment, so does that mean my domain has zero value? I'm a complete newbie but I thought the whole attraction of the domain buisness was that you were investing in virtual real estate.
I'm not a scientist but I do take a keen interest in the immortality/transhumanism debate.
What are the chances of scientists developing drugs/pills in the next 25 years that will increase lifespan? From what I've read, a 90 - 100 % chance.
What is the probability that these pills will acquire the generic name 'immortality pills'? I would guess anything from 50 to 100%.
What is the probability that these pills will immediately become one of the most, if not the most, sought after and expensive commodities in the history of human kind (and perfectly suited to be sold/marketed over the internet)? 100%, no brainer.
Mayby I'm dreaming, but I would have thought that although this domain has practically no marketable value now, I surely better spent my $10 than buying a lottery ticket. Surely there would be a few people on the market who would be willing to see this as an investment with a huge possible pay off in a couple of decades?
The day after I registered this i saw on the news the Pope giving a speech warning about the dangers of 'immortality pills'.

Viagra's been blowing old men's hearts out since it's inception, so I'm not sure you could link the two.

dono, for.. the marketing purposes? - controversial adverts always attracts better attention than the normal ones
make up some small print underline "there is no life without sex"
or something-- ok im off..
Well, newbie or not, I don't think I'm dreaming in thinking its worthwhile to pay $10 each year to renew it.
Presumably the standard opinion in the domain industry is that the way we access the internet will render domain name values obsolete within 25 years time?
I thought a reseller might see that it is a name that is simply going to increase in value each year until it becomes astonishingly lucrative. Then sell it on at a profit to another reseller with the same attitude a couple of years down the line? Or do resellers just look to sell to endusers seeking immediate marketability?
I paid $10 for it. Over the next 5 - 10 years it is close to certain that scientists will increasingly be announcing breakthroughs in the artificial extension of human lifespans. The media and politicians will begin to get into a frenzy about the ethics of human beings living longer and about the dangers of the coming 'immortality pills' (the Pope himself has already spoken about this - as far as I know the Pope is not a sci-fi geek).
Will my domain name still be worth $10 or less - even if there are still no pills to sell?
It would be interesting to read your comments on the value of 'futuristic' domain names in general. I've tried searching for all the obvious ones (tripstothemoon.com etc) and they are all gone. Are the people who buy these domains all dreamers like me, or do they just have foresight and the ability to look ahead?

dreamers or no, i think its more likely for the humans to achieve immortality trough robotization but not tru pills, they are already replacing arms, legs, eyes, so soon they could be replacing all body and brains with a memory card
(wikipedia based),.. so then you just need to do a quarterly upgradesthat my vision of immortality

Well I've just snapped up RoboticHearts.com
Ha!
I think what you're saying is probably correct, at least for the hearts, lungs etc. I studied philosophy, not science, and when it comes to replacing the brain there are huge issues with personal identity that most transhumanists don't seem able to comprehend. Though its true that the brain probably will get slowly replaced by memory chips etc in a piecemeal fashion.
I still think there will be a role for immortality pills in terms of cell regeneration though (it is the inability of cells to fully repair themselves that leads to old age and death). Most people will surely always prefer to take a pill that would enable their organic bodies to repair themselves rather than have surgeons turn them into silicon androids.

, well for pills it's normally develops slower as FDA ruling the ball ,while technology according to bbc ruled by the Europe (most religion free continent)i think first we need to kill the churches and all that organised religion concept, otherwise they would be protesting as always claiming "morally unacceptable" and making progress slower

Human Growth Hormone is probably more up the "immortality" route rather than viagra.
You're a riot!
There are a lot of 'anti-aging' products on the market now (both pharmaceutical and herbal) so that is the road I will take. I might even combine it with my interest in the immortality debate and turn it into a blog or something.
Thanks for the appraisals and advice guys. I'm going to hang on to it even if I have to live forever to earn a buck from it :blush:

it is brandable and memorable domain- keep it, you can market anything on it,
just went to check if immortalitypill.com was available, but u took it too
by the way- noted you just live 10min away

Just an update to this, I listed at SEDO 3 days ago and I've already had an e-mail from a pharmaceutical consultancy service saying they are very interested in it.
I think that says it all about the long term value of this domain.
As I said, I think it comes down to whether domain names will still be as valuable in 20/40 years from now as they are at this moment. I'm not really qualified to judge on that, but it seems form an intelligent layperson's point of view that internet websites will always have names/addresses that you will have to type in (or speak in or whatever) to distinguish them from each other.
If this is the case AND if I'm right in thinking that there will be life extension drugs coming on to the market in the next 20 years AND if pizza.com is worth $3,000,000 now then the owner of ImmortalityPills.com is going to be very rich indeed in 20 years time. Seems a no brainer to me.
Mayby I'm crazy but I think I'd be loopy to sell it for less than $xx,xxx at this point.
