by using certain techniques it is possible to inhibit head development in the presentient human embryo. growing to whatever size using artificial wombs we can harvest cloned organs for transplant and in future a complete body prosthesis. it will benefit people in need of limb replacements aswell. this procedure can be implemented immediately but despite my campaigning, governments refuse to implement my proposal. are you willing to campaign governments in order to save the world? also, the same technology can be applied to the production of meats, milk etc. without killing animals in vertical farms and thereby eliminate land as a limiting factor in food production. the resulting increase in population can be controled by government control of artificial womb technology.

I have heard these theories, and my answer is: No, I am not interested in immortality.
If you look at society around you, it has become stale and thick with rot. The older any society gets, the more domineering and authoritative it becomes.
I could definitely see this happening to me. The old die to make room for the new. Old ideas go away, to make room for new ideas. If a person hates, it festers as they grow older. Why let all those old hates continue to live, and teach the young to hate at younger ages?
I know this sounds crazy, but if I thought I was dying, I wouldn't go to a doctor to cure me, I would hit the road and LIVE the right way, and die the right way. I don't want to die with tubes crammed everywhere. I want to die breathing on my own.
I don't want a technology to tell me they can grow me a new arm, when I've become rather attached to the arms I have...I know them well.
Thanx for asking, it was a good question.

Healthy diet and a balanced life can already lead to lifespans that are quite long enough. People are already living 100yrs. Not a whole lot of them, but its a growing trend. If you take good enough care of yourself for a hundred year lifespan why would you want to live longer than that?
And what about the advanced costs of caring for so many old people? Those transplants you so simply advise will not work for everyone, sometimes even genetically matched organs do not take. And the cost of a single transplant? Its beyond the grasp of most, financially.
Plus we are working with an already overloaded health care system. Simply making sure everyone could equally access health care would send life expectancies soaring, no futuristic chop shop required.

Well, though technology changes everyday and science discovers new ways to prolong human life, the simple fact is virus and bacteria, 'superbugs', and cancer will evolve just as the human race itsself does. Therefor, death is inevitable.
Also, by the time your 110 years old everything hurts, you cant see or hear. You cant piss right anymore, and the emerging generations frighten and annoy you. By this time, regardless of how many hips and knee replacements youve had, you deserve, and youve earned the right to die.
Besides the human brain wears down just like anything else, and strokes, tumors, and types of clots, inflammation, and other things can cause the brain to lose function.
Death is scary, life forever is unimaginable, since we've a begining, and know no end.

I am not my body! My body is something I have, to use for awhile, until I don't want to any more, then I will discard it. I believe in reincarnation, so I am already immortal. My body dies, but I don't...ever!! I have no interest in keeping this same body forever...and whenever I decide to, after I have discarded this one...I can get a new one!!!!

did you start you research after watching the movie " the island" ? I think alot more people would go vegetarian if they knew the meat they were buying was grown in a jar or juice.
