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! | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
