I really cant decide, on the surface it would seem to be obviously good, but with more information, maby not. The longer you live, the more problames you get, you can fix your self up, but your not Designed to last so long. The earth is over its carring capaticy, and our population is increasing (thats the reason for world hunger). We must leave the earth to support our sepcies, but most dont see the importance in this.

You may belive antibacteral soap is keeping you healthy, But it can be making things much worse. You kill 99.9% of germs. The Stronger .01% is all thats left, this means "Lysol" may be breading 'super germs' which can not be killed easly. there is no treatment, because we made germs that are to strong for us to kill. Its our fault.

I think it is about where we need to be (but ask me again in 60 years!)
As long as the person is living a fulfilling life and is enjoying it there is no reason who it shouldn't be prolonged. But prolonging life, beyond the point of the person being viable and enjoying their existence is unnecessary.

Well, if you're talking about something like the fountain of youth...scientists will have to find a way to fix human DNA. What happens during aging is that the end of the strands of DNA start to decay and break apart. If they find a way to stop that then they can stop aging.
I don't think it would be a good idea, unless they stop reproduction...or limit the amount of offspring each person can have. I'm sure we would be a smarter society in the long run, but it would pretty much put a hold on evolution.

i could not agree extra! that is scary how technological expertise and medication can delay residing without existence. If I ever, at age 50 or 70, get to three extent the position i can't safeguard myself, ensuing interior the help of synthetic skill or being cared for by using people, professional, or not, i'd truly not stay. i do not favor to be a burden to others, nor do i want to stay a existence of dependence.

bad. the population is so overblown as it is. Death is the natural way to keep population balance.
And I don't think population is causing world hunger. It's a few evil governments who either don't help their people or who don't help other governments help their people.
In America, we can produce 10x the food a normal person needs. Our affluence affords us more than our fair share. It's more of a class issue than population. China has 6 billion+ people -- more than some African countries combined -- but they manage to feed their people while the African countries starve.

It can be okay in a sense, but it basically depends on how you look at the matter. Sure, it would be nice to live to be 110 years old or so, but what would you do with all your spare time? That's something to consider.-Steve

everyone who choses to prolong human life is just scared of dying.. prolonging human life: 1.) increases population which is problematic 2.) decreases the quality of life (i mean how much can you do when your 109 years old lets say) 3.) is unnatural... god people just need to accept that they are going to die and not worry so much of prolonging it as to living it

I think the president should randomly draw social security numbers and start killing people just to give others a little more room!

There is no easy answer to that one, it depends on whether you will be condemning that person to further suffering or not. Quality of life also needs to be considered, as to whether that person will benefit from longevity or not.
It´s not simply black and white, Life never is.

I honestly think it should be a inveigle decision on when and how we die. If you have no hope in recovery it should be your chose.
And if we go to another planet we will destroy it to.
I don't think any one that Has a clue can stop progress.
