Watch

now all they need to do is find a way to fix brain tumors and... yep, looks like i'm never going to die from natural causes, neither will you. BFF got a whole new meaning.

Everything dies. Everything we do merely prolongs the inevitable.

Cool technology though."When I am, Death is not; and when Death is, I am not. Then why fear what I cannot be?"

I wish we'd stop focusing our efforts on prolonging our inescapably finite, insignificant lives, and instead focus on their enrichment. Humans came to terms with their mortality millenia ago. It's time we start acting like it."The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." ~ Bertrand Russell

According to scientific research, even with this we'd still die after 200 years or so from an accident.Canto Ergo Sum

Live forever? No thanks I'm scared to live past, 30, I'm so vain. Even plastic surgery it's so................... Plastic-y.

I got your message.

But if we can make ourselves live forever, I bet we can make our looks last forever. And not through surgery. Mainly our looks go away because we aren't ideal specimens for reproduction, but if we stay healthy, we'll still look good.Canto Ergo Sum

K y'all the "never" part was obviously a jest.

norml: what's wrong with being able to pick you date of death? imagine what Einstein could have done with 500 years. Then again the same goes for Hitler i guess.
godless: kids will obviously become illegal, so that I can live indefinably. ;-)

well I am stoked. Can you imagine what this means for anyone who's missing a limb? a few steps ahead of this and we've overcome our own genetic limitations.. we will effectively be evolving through the process of self selection. Idk about you people but by the time i'm forty i'll look the same as i do now only with blue skin and a tail.

If people stop dying then obviously we'll have to put laws in place to keep reproduction controlled.

Society would have to undergo fundamental changes if people started living to be 200. I really don't think we could handle it."The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." ~ Bertrand Russell

But as per the bible, there was a time where we lived into multiples of even THAT number. ;)Death is life's way of telling you that you've been fired.

And as per the bible, population control happens by means of stoning 80% of the population for not being virgins or talking back to their parents and such."The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." ~ Bertrand Russell

How's about those of us that don't wish to reproduce get to live for a long time? :D

I agree. Even if there were laws on reproduction in place, what does one do when someone breaks the law? People would have to learn to really think about the future and conduct themselves with that in mind.It's not about fun. It's about the truth. -House

Posted By: normlI really don't think we could handle it.

I think we could handle it. I'm not betting on it not causing problems, or not segregating us for a time. Then again maybe that's how life works. An "unwilling to adapt" attitude retards development IMO, so I'm all for this type of advancement.
BTW, this technology is enriching our life in a sense; even if life expectancy didn't waver, the elderly won't have to suffer failing organs, band joins, or brittle bones.

I am all for learning to master biology... plus i want to live for 500 healthy years.

If we were to live 3 times longer, we'd need to advance in everything else as well to accommodate our newly-tripled lifespans. A new fuel source, more living space, more jobs, more food, more clean water... and while it would be fantastic to have all those advancements, I don't think it's possible to have them all at once. We need to sort out the energy crisis, then the economy, then living space, etc., and THEN we can start thinking about prolonging our lives. When I say I don't think we can handle longer lifespans, I mean we really can't afford it."The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." ~ Bertrand Russell

Yeah, because that'll go over well with the pro-lifers."The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." ~ Bertrand Russell

Pro lifers can get pissed of at the kids who are bringing illegal children into the world, its would be a necessity to remove them. Screw the rules I have money.

We will never live forever, after a few thousand years we'd get murdered, or die in a car crash, or your spacecraft will run out of fuel and food and leave you helplessly in space... Even with brain uploading, the computer could explode or something. This is old news, though, I've known about this since about a year ago when I watched something about it on the science channel.I am immortal. Killing me would simply make you an idiot.

Yeah he says artificial organs have been in the works for some 20+ years, though only recently are they getting the "formula" down. Like the guy that recently regrew his figure.

I agree about the living forever part though... unless we somehow figure out how to upload our brains into the very fabric of space-time itself, in which case we would evolve to GODHOOD!!.. jk
