RE: Life Extension Technology (Longevity with Immortalist and Health-Spanners)
Living forever sounds great. But are we ready for that? Imagine if Genghis Khan were still alive? Or Hitler? Thank God for our mortality. I think it's a double-edged sword. There is a reason why humans have a short life span, and a very short one if I may say so, compared to stars and space phenomena. We can't even get to the nearest solar system without perishing first.
I'm sure humans would go crazy after their 1000th birthday.
The best thing from my point of view is to have an expiration date of 100 years without suffering from any disease or rheumatic pain.
Nice post, thanks for sharing :D
That is a good point about Hitler. There are definitely some parts of history that we are lucky we have moved on from. Attitudes and technology progress. You don't need to go back far in history and you will find a world that was built on class division, sexism, racism - would we want people with dated mentalities around now? If we lived to for another couple of hundred years - how would people look at our generation?
I'm sure at some point history tends to repeat itself
If people like hitler lived forever, we would be in mecury by now facing the direct hot of the sun.
