Immortality? Possibility?

[Oscerot]

I want to be immortal!

Anyways, with the....limitless possibilities genetic engineering promises, do you think it is possible to achieve immortality in a living organism, specifically, in human beings?

Do you think it will happen eventually?

[honee_v]

y would you like to be immortal? would you like to see all youve loved pass away befor ur eyes?

[Oscerot]

Obviously not. I'm talking about everyone, that is; everyone becomes immortal. So no one dies.

[honee_v]

we will soon be crowded if death never existed ...

[Oscerot]

Well yes, and no.

If we had immortality, we could preserve the great minds of the world that make things go 'round. Our intellect of science would experience a state of constant quantum leapage (so I made up that word...)

Immortal? I guess it's not possible. I once read from a book whereby scientist said that human being immortal is not possible, people will die eventually.

[Oscerot]

How many times have scientists hypothesis' proven to be incorrect?

[kjle]

true enough, but it won't happen. I believe this is going into things more than physical. We're entering a different world really. There is more to life than our physical bodies. I don't believe that God would allow for us to live forever.

I know you'll probably all say that there is no proof, and what I said isn't scientific.

And yes the world would become overcrowded.

[Oscerot]

I'm not asking a theological perspective. No God speak please.

It's a really interesting concept:

Already we've found a possible anti-aging molecule, which, if it proves to be correct;

``We also found the synthetic compound can reverse aging, by revitalizing already-lethargic cells. Theoretically, this can give youth to the elderly via rejuvenating cells,’’ the 41-year-old said.

Just imagine if you can walk into a store and for $50 bucks put 30 or more years on your life.

Kim expected that the CGK733-empowered drugs that keep cells youthful far beyond their normal life span would be commercialized in less than 10 years.

We need Age regolator, I think?

[mith]

Well yes, and no.

If we had immortality, we could preserve the great minds of the world that make things go 'round. Our intellect of science would experience a state of constant quantum leapage (so I made up that word...)

And do we let the criminals die? Who get's to decide who lives or dies?

[Oscerot]

MEH! >=D

No, but in all seriousness. Criminals are the ones who get the immortality first. This way, a life sentence is REALLY a life sentence.
