I like the idea of life lengthening, especially with life quality, but I think we all have to get the idea that at some point we are going to die, no matter science developments.
So many people have followed religions because they provide ease before the fear of death.
Nowadays wealthy people are spending their money in science projects because they fear dying as well.
But atomic bombs, cosmic cataclysms and the like will always be there.
So, I welcome whatever developments can bring us more life and more quality but I always have in mind that at some point this is going to end.
Yeah, that is the frustrating part. I still believe that fountain of youth will soon be found by science.
Not only do many of the super-rich want immortality, but a good number of them are doing something about it. The likes of Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, Larry Ellison, Co-founder of Oracle, and investor Peter Thiel are all putting money into ventures that are focused on extending the human life span.
A multitude of approaches being taken are aiming for immortality
or, at the very least, a much longer and healthier life. There is the idea of merging artificial intelligence with humans to avert death. By transferring your consciousness into an artificial brain, you will continue to live even though your body is worn out. Cryogenics is being seriously considered. Here they freeze your body and, at a minimum, your head until the field of medicine advances enough to bring you back.
