Technology For Immortality Only 20 Years Away, Scientist Claims

If this is true then i can't wait :D

You wouldn't handle it.

[QUOTE="Inconsistancy"][QUOTE="gaming25"] No one on earth can live forever. We transition no matter the technology. In order to uncrack immortality, you must know the mysteries of the soul.gaming25

There is a soul. The body is different from the soul. A body is something that decays over time, but if you treat the soul well, then it can live on forever.

That sounds lovely and all but it's a bunch of bulls***. cheese_game619

There isn't a soul, luckily, just have to keep the brain from falling apart/degrading, may not be easy, but it's not impossible to be ~immortal. I mean, the end of the Universe is still going to get ya', but you're still pretty immortal compared to a regular human.Inconsistancy

OP is filled with baloney.

I would like to see some of that come true, but the guy who said that got his head way up in the clouds.

We still don't even know the exact reason on why people age, or why we yawn, or why we sweat under our armpits .. and the OP quote post makes it some future "nanomachines" would know how to and possibly control our life cycles and genes?

This is just jumping to conclusions, and giving some people what they want to hear!

I would personally love to have such scientific advancements come true, but its just too soon to make assumptions.

And, in my own opinion, inmortality by natural causes or not cannot be achieved.

Not 100% on yawning(when tired...), but it does alliviate pressure differences in the ear.

Aging is something everything does, everything becomes more entropic over time. There are genes related to it however, and if you modified them, you could slow/stop the visual effects of it, however cancer is an issue..., obviously the dna itself is subject to the same entropy, so it 'ages' by damage, even if you modified it in a way that would 'prevent' aging.

We age to die, we're not designed to live very long, most parts of our body are designed to wear out, instead of being replaced such as teeth.

This is terrible,

The whole point of life is to live and die like everyone else and accept the fact your not special and your going to die then go out and do as much as you can in your lifetime.

This might be harsh but it would kill off all the people that want to be with God and leave the rest of us sane people to become cyborgs and start travelling the universe.cheese_game619

Regardless if this ever comes to fruition, I don't see anything wrong with extending one's life, especially in regards to living healthily and youthfully for a longer period of time. Life as they say is short, and yet still supposedly the longest thing you'll ever experience. Many people find it hard to do enough in their lifetime, and often have to struggle for years before they are in a place to make any kind of positive difference (even on a micro scale). Obviously there would have to be regulation (there would be too much economic and population growth concerns to deal with if enough people were, say, completely immortal). But even if it just entails living in one's biological prime a little bit longer, that seems well worth it.

The aging process is interesting. We simpy accept that people age and die, but why? What cellular process takes place that causes it? There certainly are immortal cell lines that dont die off. So that's a possibility that we may find some way to halt it. However, is that in the best nature of our species? Mother nature designed us so we had an expiration date. Once people stop dying, overpopulation, war, scarcity of resources, destruction of the environment all become bigger issues.

As much as I want for this to be true, I highly doubt it.

There's also a few organisms in the world that are "biologically immortal". That is, they can be killed, but just not by biological aging. I think the issues of translating that to humans are definitely there, but like I said above, even just life extension (or "prime life extension") for a somewhat longer period of time could make a world of difference. Could there be unforeseen consequences? I don't doubt it. Would those problems definitely become more pronounced? Surely. But I think the positives would be outweighed by the negatives, proven it does not change life as we know it in any other adverse ways.

Overpopulation, use sterilization... problem solved.

I don't care about *mother nature's plans*. What's so great about death, especially my own, that I should be forced to accept it? I'd honestly rather not, living > death.

[QUOTE="TheFatPerson"][QUOTE="alexside1"] Don't play s*** on me, you know what I mean.cheese_game619

This isn't going to happen

think about it

if this already happened there must be someone with this kind of technology on earth

if we have this, we can further study making time machine without interuption

if time machine is already invented in the future because of this technology, why isnt anyone here on earth has it yet?

if time machine is created, they would travel back through time into present or past to make this kind of technology at early years

I stroked my ego twice today, once this morning and once a few hours ago,

Felt good.

This immortality sh!t is awesome though, i'll be 40 then.
