    Imortal life

    Ok, it's all science fiction I know, but I was just pondering what we all thought the world might be like if human beings attained all but never-ending life.

    Perhaps one plus point would be we tend to only think of our generation, leaving the problems created to the ones that follow. Maybe if we had to live in the world we created we might be a little more circumspect in our actions in the present.

    Thoughts?
    All other opinions are wrong....

    Thumbs up

    Its said that Lobsters repair their own DNA and potentially could live for ever.. Would you really want to though?.. not for me.

    Imortal life? What a contradiction of words.

    It wouldn't bother me, I have plans and things to do that I could never finish within a couple of lifetimes!

    According to Alex Chiu, based on testimonies, facts, and proofs, people are believed to be able to stay physically young forever by using his new inventions "The Eternal Life Rings" and "The Eternal Life Foot Braces".

    Alex Chiu invented his Immortality Rings in 1996 and I guess that because he is still alive (and presumably still on the council in Markham, Ontario) that his Immortality Rings must still be working.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    Instead of looking at immortal life why not look at mortal life where there is no suffering. Something that can be gleened from stem cell reasearch and applications.
