You know what, I really don't want to live to 1,000. You have to realize this, the older you are, the more you see, and I really don't want to see more pain, suffering, war, hunger, and destruction.
Probably at first, but only because it would be a new technology. Like all new technologies, the price would probably go down over time.Not to mention, I see it being rather expensive. :/
Probably 50K per year they take off or something. lol
Which would fall under old age... Which is cured by this science (in theory).Our organs fail after aprox 100 years
QFT.It's obvious there's the plus of not being afraid of growing old and dying to come at this, but let's look at the other pluses. What would the mind of a man the age of 956 have to say? Can you imagine a learning and growing mind of such an age? Even if this new technology does intensify the population problem, imagine how much more advanced our societies could become, I bet that before we would succumb to a lack of resources that we would find a manner in which to solve these dilemmas thanks to the great sages this technology can create. I initially thought that this idea was going to make things absolutely atrocious, but after thinking about it, there's a lot to be said about a sound mind over the age of 250.
It would be like having an earth full of Yodas.
I want to live forever.
This would be amazing, and is what I hope happens.
For a long time, this is why I lived (this hope).
We can terraform Mars in 200 years. Don't worry about overpopulation. We just need to get moving.
They spell aging as "ageing" every time the word is used in that article, wich leads me to question it's credibility.
