do you think longevity of life would be drastically changed due to highly advanced technology?

Question

there is technology that allows people to say they are thinking. could if evolve to mind controlling. downloading our thoughts onto a computer.

people with cancer seem to have a will to live long or shorter. so with this technology would people maybe be able to overcome any disease thought power?

Answer 1

I believe with the advancement of technology, our lifespans will be greatly increased. Perhaps to our own detriment.
First off, if you keep in mind our increasing ability to replace damaged limbs and organs with technology, in addition to our slow conquering of many diseases. That right there is a great increase.
The human body itself, if we could halt the cell degredation caused by our own mitochondria, is able to survive for far longer than our lifespans.
Its the waste buildup in our systems that cause our cells to degrade and slowly weaken and die off over time. The slow "aging" effect.
A look into nature will show that not all animals degrade this way. Certain animals will continue to live and grow larger and larger until something eats them, never dying of old age.
The chemical in Red Wine(Whose name I unfortunetely cannot recall) has been tested in mice to reduce the effects of aging to near neglible.(Granted, they were given the effects of 1000 glasses of red wine daily).
So I believe it is almost definate that our lifespans will be increased over time.
However, Nature has a funny way of always combating our best technology and science whenever we think we are ahead. So once we've conquered everything that can kill us, something new will come along to make sure we don't overpopulate.

Answer 2

Only really getting the gist of your question by guessing since the English is so bad so the answer might be wrong.

Personally I don't mind power is going to go too far. I'm sure some can do it but doesn't seem that many can. Dont worry about it anyway what will be will be. We are only cogs in the big wheel.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, I think technology will increase the longevity of life. I say unfortunately since we can't even help the people we have on the earth now. When I die, I want it over, I do not want machines or special drugs take over for me and let me live any longer.

Answer 4

Yes.It seems to me that those people with will and faith, often conquer injury to the body. Medicine has already lengthened the life span. The human body wears out. It wasn't designed for eternity. We may become disease free, but death is inevitable after about 100 to120 years.
