I would ike to live forever bcuz its very interesting to know what will happen
I think the problem of living forever is not what we want to be. Depends on your health. So I want to have a meaningful life that really does not need to live long. But at least the whole of life itself. If you live forever to witness the change of the earth. Exciting .

Would YOU choose to live forever?

I think the problem of living forever is not what we want to be. Depends on your health. So I want to have a meaningful life that really does not need to live long. But at least the whole of life itself.




Scientists have made a discovery that could lead to a revolutionary drug that actually reverses ageing.

The drug could help damaged DNA to miraculously repair and even protect Nasa astronauts on Mars by protecting them from solar radiation.

A team of researchers developed the drug after discovering a key signalling process in DNA repair and cell aging.

During trials on mice, the team found that the drug directly repaired DNA damage caused by radiation exposure or old age.

'The cells of the old mice were indistinguishable from the young mice after just one week of treatment,' said lead author Professor David Sinclair.

Human trials of the pill will begin within six months.

That's a double edged blade. There are pros and cons for both sides. Just imagine for a second what immortality would be like. Having all the time in the world to do absolutely everything you might dream of, yet you might become prone to loneliness and depression, because everyone you love will eventually die. On the other hand if you live life as it is, short and confusing, you might experience the same bad things because a loss is a loss and people leave one way or the other eventually, so if you can't live every moment to its fullest, you don't really have time for much.

Cool
Me, I will not accept to live forever, Why? Because when i'm the only one living people in this earth what should i do here. But when other will live forvere to why not. Until god give me strength i will serve to his words.

In the history of man, no man has ever lived forever. I believe eternity is God's decision, for him alone has the power.
If it does happen that this scientific test works on human, it would then require man to continually take the pills for sustainability which would still not make man live forever but for a longer period.
But if given the choice to live forever, i would go for it.

No. Just think about that if you have a miserable life and chooses to llive long. It will not change a thing and it will just prolonged all your agony.

Absolutely, yes!

Why? Because of how deeply we are tied to the universe, death will be of far greater turmoil spiritually than we can imagine.

Yes, to me of course. No need to think about this answer very long. I want to live forever...

I do not want to live forever. What will I do after my wife and children die, my friends and parents? What's the point of living alone?
Why are people so obsessed with this? I don't see where the problem is. There's enough to experience in the world to stay busy for an eternity even without any friends. I guess you just never tried to enjoy yourself on your own and can't imagine it to be possible?

Life was designed to be lived once and then age and die. I dont think this new technology that would reverse the process of aging will totally make one live forever. It could probobly renew aging cells and DNA but we still dont know what are the negative  effects of this on our human body since it is still under trial. Besides, this life is full of problems and sufferings, if living forever with this kind of life is possible, then life would not be enjoyable but tiring, at the end, man will eventually desire to end their lives and die.
Problems are why life is interesting and enjoyable to live. If you think that life would end up being tiring you're 100% doing something wrong with your life and focusing on the wrong things.

Also, rejuvenation and longevity doesn't mean immortality. If you get shot or something you can still die.

Live forever?

Well, I'm already making my own plans to live forever... as I love the idea of living forever! Grin

I'm far too much curious to discover new things to ever worry that I'd get bored.

That would be the stupidest thing humans will ever do. Only GOD can decide wether we live or die. We are just creations and do not have the right to alter what has been given to us already. I really don't see anything good that cam ever come out of this discovery. Yes, human life matters but people die for a reason and this reason gives way for us to multiply. We even have too much addition in population than deduction which becomes a problem for everyone. Thus is just pure bullcrao.
Nah, I'll decide if I can prolong my life myself if I find a way to. And if God ever decides to show up I'll argue with him all day.

Either way, we can just move on to other planets and build higher buildings to counter rising populations, so the only argument you've made is pointless.

Okay then sir, setting religion aside, please do show me a planet that isn't that harsh or hostile and can sustain human life. Doesn't matter if we start from scratch. Then after that, show me a single ship that can carry even a single human being to that place they say might be a potential earth number 2 without getting smushed or hit by lots of space rocks.

Population growth issue isn't pointless. Building higher buildings to counter overpopulation is what's useless. Just try to consider the amount of materials this earth can provide plus all the terrorism and natural disasters. Yes, we have a lot of great engineers making progress in building big structures that cam withstand some natural disasters, but do you think, of all the abuse the earth is getting today, these natural disasters will stay the way they are and not grow bigger and more disastrous?  earth can only give so much for us to use. Without population decreasing, even more serious problems can arise rhan what we are facing today. Amd it will only be a matter of time till we burn this earth dry.

Think about it.
Mars is already in the workings. Venus is possible as well and not much smaller than earth. As technology develops more types of planets will become "habitable". The next "by default" habitable planet is around 12 light years away, which we would be capable of reaching one day as well, although the first crew that goes there would have to live, recreate, and partially die on the spaceship on the way there.
But even that aside, we still have plenty of space on this planet and it's only a matter of sustaining ourselves somehow through technology. We can already build vertical farms that do not depend on the climate to sustain food as well. It might be expensive, but it's certainly doable. It's not really a question of what is possible, but of whether or not humanity will come together to work things out instead of arguing over bullshit and playing political power games like role playing kids.

Hmm.. true.. but even those planets are making too little to no progress as of now. While i see hope, I don't think those planets can become what we expect it to be anytme soon.

I agree. If there would be unity,  then there's no telling how far humans can progress. The thijg is, this will never ever happen. Unity is something humans are not mature enough to possess. And i highly doubt that this will ever happen anywhere within our generation's lifetime. Heck, I don't even think that it could happen in , let's say a few hundred years from now.

So still, i do not think it would be a great idea for humans to achieve this kind of knowledge.

But hey, that's just me, everyone has their own opinions just about anything. And everyone are most likely to assume theur opinions are right. So I respect your point of view.
Mars is targeted for 202x, which is in the near future. From that point onward it'll get easier to reach other places too, since Musk would've taken a significant leap forward with regard to rocket technology and other research necessary for staying in space for prolonged amounts of time.

And that's not accounting for breakthroughs in computing, or even AI yet either.

I'm probably going to settle on Mars when I get old and run out of things to do on Earth. Unless longevity science makes a breakthrough as well. Wink

Never, Humanity had become Shitty
I would Rather Die

If you think humanity has "become shitty" you should spend more time studying history. Wink
