Do you ever feel like 70 years is too long for a normal human lifespan? | |

Just because our modern way of life has enabled us to live to 70 and far beyond..is it necessarily a good and desirable thing? I hope euthanasia is legal and readily available in the future. It should be a basic human right in an era with 7.5 billion mostly unnecessary people, especially with so much widespread misery, and the ever-continuing depletion of resources.

But since May have been on a mostly vegan, wheatless, sugarless diet, and I look and feel much better. I'm 68, and at a recent gathering people told me I look 50 to 55. I still have responsibilities, but am retired. I look forward to being able to plein-air paint more. Have just started, and it is wonderful! There's something about being out in nature in the morning and painting. Good for the soul. So I hope you can do what's right for you, but I certainly don't want to check out early. There's still too much to do! Awake Dreamer (not a "Dreamer") |

Well you're basically wrong about your preconceptions. In just about 15 yrs from now true life extension technology will come along, this is what is said by the top experts in the fields, and what they mean is by that time science will start being able to extend your lifespan, and you'd reach a kind of escape velocity to immortality as each passing year the technology improves and your extended lifespan increases. TO GET TO THE POINT! Life extension technology is inherently about rejuvenating every system in your body back to a healthier younger state, and about curing all the diseases related to ageing, this means you wont find yourself getting old and decrepit and low energy when in your 70s instead you'll look and feel like you're in your 20s or 30s... So now imagine yourself being 25 yrs old for hundreds of years... is that too much, will you get bored of all the sex and adventure and projects you could undertake? maybe... |

We want thousands of years in young, healthy and free bodies, with beamships in our backyard. With nary an elite in site because all of the demon rats have been hauled off and put in cosmic jails.

The technology in the pipeline such as ability to live virtually indefinitely which will be possible if you can wait another 25 years,, means that all diseases of ageing will be cured, no dementia, no alzheimer's, no brittle bones, no saggy skin, no cancer, no blindness, no deafness, no impotence. Please tell me you didn't actually think life extension technology was all about prolonging the life of frail demented impotent old geriatrics????? |

More likely, it will be more reason for the Elite to kill us off and utilize it for themselves. It all sounds creepy to me anyway..wanting to live as 25 year olds indefinitely. And where does that leave future generations..just abort them all and use their tissues to prolong your youth, or just have everyone sterilized? Sounds worse than Brave New World, this idea of wanting to live forever. |
