The Sens Foundation and Cryonics Institute are working very hard to make death non-existent and enable humans to live forever.
However, will it ever be possible and will these organizations ever achieve their goals? In addition to that, will common people avail the advantage rather than just rich and affluent class? These are the main questions.
Personally speaking, I would value living forever the most precious and treasurable gift. Anything less than immortality is a waste of resources. I want to live forever so that I can enjoy forever. I would fully support as much as I can to those individuals or organizations working towards achieving the goals of human immortality. People usually prefer enjoying at a youthful age when they are in college or in the midst of their age. If it is known that they can live forever, many of the ambitious people will probably prefer working for themselves and for the society rather than enjoying. This is because they believe that they can enjoy later as they will remain young in the future also and therefore they will postpone the enjoyment period later on. This is like having both two birds in bush and one in hand. Having faith in science is all that takes to be determined for achieving the goals. Therefore, I would request and plead to all those who prefer enjoying at young age to choose the option of working hard for their goals and also try to become financially well settled so that when in future science develops enough to allow humans to live forever then they can enjoy forever after becoming rich and affluent.
As far as the research and development goes, there has been significant progress for end aging. A 40 year old and a 17 year old are trapped in a baby's body and they are not growing. This disease is called Noonan syndrome, contrary to Progaria where people age fast. Many people like Fereidoun M. Esfandiary popularly known as FM-2030 predicted that everybody would immortal by 2030 AD and therefore 2030 was added in his nickname. Nanotechnology assures that this goal will be achieved by the year 2029 after increased knowledge of how human body functions. They intend to replace blood cells by nanobots which will perform thousand times more efficiently, by which we can conclude that not only that humans will be immortals but also will become superhumans. A Russian billionaire, Dmitry Itskov has claimed that by 2045 AD humans will have chance to live forever by uploading their brains to computers, which was also shown in fiction movies like Johnny Depp in 'Transcendence'.

Wow Shailesh. Such a fascinating topic you have written on. Was not expecting to read this.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading this.
But just 1 question, Can living forever have its on demerits?
This topic surely makes for a nice discussion.
Thank you ma'm for appreciating my article. Living forever may have demerits like overpopulation etc but as we are also determined to know more about outer space and other planets, we would surely achieve goal to colonize the moon and mars where the surplus population can live. Also, people who want to live forever may not have the intention to reproduce further so this can be a defense to the disadvantage of overpopulation. It is indeed a great topic for good discussion.
DeleteAlso, if we continue to live forever, then perhaps we are tampering with the natural decay of the human body. Isn't death also important? There is an age for youth as well as old age. What fun is there to live on forever as a young person?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think?
This is not the first case where man has challenged nature. There is distance, Graham Bell invented telephone to solve the problem. There is darkness, Thomas Edison invented electric light bulb to solve it. People who believe in religion may also believe in reincarnation and rebirth. However, we are still not sure that whether it is true or not therefore we should keep the motive of research on aging as a top priority.
DeleteHaving fun is most possible at young age because the body and mind support it and it will not be the same when we grow old. Therefore, this is the fun to live forever as a young dude. :)
