The thing with longetivity is you’d probably start getting mad or depressed or bored after some time. Also, the population would exponentially grow and lastly, it is rather difficult to get poeple that were born 500 years ago to agree with people that were born 20 years ago. It would probably result in a political chaos.
All those points have been addressed already (like the longer you live the fewer kids you have, we’re already in negative territory here in the EU for example), and it’s not like you can’t have an accident or die of an infectious disease.
I’m all for it, I mean it’s just worse to be old and decripit, or worse even, dead.
And if after 500 years I feel like there is nothing left to do, I’d finish a long fully lived life I guess, but at my decision!
I mean, if you get cancer at 40 or 50, and you can cure it, most people would. We all get “old age” around there so why not cure that to?
What treatments will revert aging.
None.
You’re welcome :)
We already do it in rodents, there are animals that already do it by themselves making them virtually immortal.
Why are you so scared of living?
Thats cool, didnt know that
It’s maybe the coolest thing there is, I mean we could travel the universe if we didn’t go bad after just some decades of time.
If we had enough energy we could also do that in our lifetime (because time passes slower when closer to the speed of light)…
If you can accelerate our frail bodies up to those speeds fast enough :-)
I’m betting on longevity 😁
