To be honest, I think it would be more beneficial for us if we discovered how to always stay young rather then live forever. What does longer life help you if you do not have the physical strength to enjoy most things in it.

yeah

you can definitely hit olympic rank on iccup at that rate


not really, because if everyone was immortal, it would be relative. I suppose you could argue some sort of absolute plateau effect, in which case, why would people play?

it sure is for me

why wouldnt it be for you?


It is hard to say whether you would want it or not when you are still young.. I know some people that never want to die though so there is definately a market for it. Think about what this means for research as well. All of those really old professors and doctors that know ridiculous amounts of information could live much longer! I think this is great!

They have not been able to fix male pattern baldness yet. I think we have some time before they unlock the secrets of immortality.
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

Btw, even if they figure out how to achieve immortality none of you are likely to be rich or powerful enough get it. That honor is gonna be reserved for the most important of the human species, like Miley Cyrus or Kanye.

Edit: Can you guys imagine how annoying it would be if Kanye was immortal? God that would suck.

that guys talkin out of his ass.

even if nanotechnology can stop some sort of aging. No one even knows what exactly leads to aging anyway. My professor today was just talking about it can be anything from innate errors in DNA replication to just some other random crap


but i agree that this stuff could def increase life expectancy a ton.
honestly i don't even care.. who wants to be old and helpless for 60+ years...


You don't understand.

Increasing life expectancy by reducing aging (slowed and more error-prone cell reduplication, that's all it is) would not only prolong your life, it would prolong your healthiness. Stronger immune system, increased plasticity of the brain, correctly regenerating body cells in general != helpless for 60 years.

The myth that immortality sucks is just spread around by people who are ALREADY immortal, so that they can monopolize all the immortality in the world.

And within the next two decades, it's time to fight back.

It is definitely possible. As far as we know everything in the body is replaceable except for the brain. One of the things you mentally have to learn in the medical field is that bodies are really machines. Everything in the body can be mimicked with a machine.

Once thats out of the way the only thing we're really missing is sensations, which I dont think is that far off technology wise (within the next 50 years at the most).

I personally wouldnt mind being a robot if I still had feelings/emotions/sensations. Thats just me though, I know most people are probably different. Basically I would say it is very possible, humans are inventive little buggers.

All I know is that I wouldn't want to live forever. It's cool if everyone else does, I guess, but I just don't get wanting to be immortal. Things would get way too boring; we'd be a civilization of Bret Farve's, never knowing when we ought to retire...
